Trans-ancestry genome-wide association meta-analysis of prostate cancer identifies new susceptibility loci and informs genetic risk prediction.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-01-04)
Prostate cancer is a highly heritable disease with large disparities in incidence rates across ancestry populations. We conducted a multiancestry meta-analysis of prostate cancer genome-wide association studies (107,247 ...
The effect of sample size on polygenic hazard models for prostate cancer.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2020-10-01)
We determined the effect of sample size on performance of polygenic hazard score (PHS) models in prostate cancer. Age and genotypes were obtained for 40,861 men from the PRACTICAL consortium. The dataset included 201,590 ...
Association of Genomic Domains in BRCA1 and BRCA2 with Prostate Cancer Risk and Aggressiveness.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2020-02-01)
Pathogenic sequence variants (PSV) in BRCA1 or BRCA2 (BRCA1/2) are associated with increased risk and severity of prostate cancer. We evaluated whether PSVs in BRCA1/2 were associated with risk of overall prostate cancer ...
Androgen receptor binding sites enabling genetic prediction of mortality due to prostate cancer in cancer-free subjects.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-08-23)
Prostate cancer (PrCa) is the second most common cancer worldwide in males. While strongly warranted, the prediction of mortality risk due to PrCa, especially before its development, is challenging. Here, we address this ...
Half of germline pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants found on panel tests do not fulfil NHS testing criteria.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-02-21)
Genetic testing for cancer predisposition has been curtailed by the cost of sequencing, and testing has been restricted by eligibility criteria. As the cost of sequencing decreases, the question of expanding multi-gene ...
Management of Patients with Advanced Prostate Cancer: Report from the Advanced Prostate Cancer Consensus Conference 2021.
(ELSEVIER, 2022-07-01)
BACKGROUND: Innovations in treatments, imaging, and molecular characterisation in advanced prostate cancer have improved outcomes, but various areas of management still lack high-level evidence to inform clinical practice. ...
A polymorphism in the promoter of FRAS1 is a candidate SNP associated with metastatic prostate cancer.
(WILEY, 2021-07-01)
BACKGROUND: Inflammation and one of its mediators, NF-kappa B (NFκB), have been implicated in prostate cancer carcinogenesis. We assessed whether germline polymorphisms associated with NFκB are associated with the risk of ...
Clonal hematopoiesis and risk of prostate cancer in large samples of European ancestry men.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2023-01-13)
Little is known regarding the potential relationship between clonal hematopoiesis (CH) of indeterminate potential (CHIP), which is the expansion of hematopoietic stem cells with somatic mutations, and risk of prostate ...
Management of patients with advanced prostate cancer-metastatic and/or castration-resistant prostate cancer: Report of the Advanced Prostate Cancer Consensus Conference (APCCC) 2022.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2023-05-01)
BACKGROUND: Innovations in imaging and molecular characterisation together with novel treatment options have improved outcomes in advanced prostate cancer. However, we still lack high-level evidence in many areas relevant ...
Impact of germline DNA repair gene variants on prognosis and treatment of men with advanced prostate cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-11-06)
The clinical importance of germline variants in DNA repair genes (DRGs) is becoming increasingly recognized, but their impact on advanced prostate cancer prognosis remains unclear. A cohort of 221 newly diagnosed metastatic ...
