Multiple regions within 8q24 independently affect risk for prostate cancer.

Multiple regions within 8q24 independently affect risk for prostate cancer.

After the recent discovery that common genetic variation in 8q24 influences inherited risk of prostate cancer, we genotyped 2,973 SNPs in up to 7,518 men with and without prostate cancer from five populations. We identified seven risk variants, five of them previously undescribed, spanning 430 kb an...
