The Heritability of Prostate Cancer in the Nordic Twin Study of Cancer

9 May 2014

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer is thought to be the most heritable cancer, although little is known about how this genetic contribution varies across age. METHODS: To address this question, we undertook the world's largest prospective study in the Nordic Twin Study of Cancer cohort, including 18,680 monozygotic (MZ) and 30,054 dizygotic (DZ) same-sex male twin pairs. We incorporated time-to-event analyses to...
