Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Many SNPs influence prostate cancer risk. To what extent genetic risk can be reduced by environmental factors is unknown. METHODS: We evaluated effect modification by environmental factors of the association between susceptibility SNPs and prostate cancer in 1,230 incident prostate cancer cases and 1,361 controls, all white and similar ages, nested in the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian (PLCO)...
