Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Results from published studies on the association between the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) Val158Met polymorphism and prostate cancer (PCa) risk are inconsistent. To derive a more precise estimate, we performed a meta-analysis. METHODS: We searched in the PubMed and Elsevier Science Direct database for studies on the association between the COMT Val158Met polymorphism and PCa. We used the odds...
