Background Two prostate cancer genome-wide scans in populations of European ancestry
identified several genetic variants that are strongly associated with prostate cancer risk. The …

BACKGROUND Several genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) in populations of
European descent have identified more than a dozen common genetic variants that are …

Background: A recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) of prostate cancer in a
Japanese population identified five novel regions not previously discovered in other …

Genome-wide association studies have detected more than 30 inherited prostate cancer risk
variants. While clearly associated with risk, their relationship with clinical outcome …

More than 30 prostate cancer (PCa) risk‐associated loci have been identified in populations
of European descent by genome‐wide association studies. We hypothesized that a subset …

Genome-wide association studies have identified multiple common alleles associated with
prostate cancer risk in populations of European ancestry. Testing these variants in other …

Purpose: Two recent genome-wide association studies have highlighted several single
nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) purported to be associated with prostate cancer risk. We …

A recent genome-wide association study has identified five new genetic variants for prostate
cancer susceptibility in a Japanese population, but it is unknown whether these newly …

Background: There have been few genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of prostate
cancer among diverse populations. To search for novel prostate cancer risk variants, we …

Five novel prostate cancer risk loci were identified in a recent genome-wide association
study (GWAS) of Japanese persons (Takata et al., Nat Genet. 2010; 42 (9): 751–754). Those …
