Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Both common and rare genetic variants may contribute to risk of developing prostate cancer. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified ∼100 independent, common variants associated with prostate cancer risk. However, little is known about the association of rare variants (minor allele frequency [MAF] <1%) in the genome with prostate cancer risk. METHODS: A two-stage study was used to test...
