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 ...
Prostate cancer risk in men of differing genetic ancestry and approaches to disease screening and management in these groups.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2022-06-01)
Prostate cancer is the second most common solid tumour in men worldwide and it is also the most common cancer affecting men of African descent. Prostate cancer incidence and mortality vary across regions and populations. ...
Functional Analysis Identifies Damaging CHEK2 Missense Variants Associated with Increased Cancer Risk.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2022-02-15)
UNLABELLED: Heterozygous carriers of germline loss-of-function variants in the tumor suppressor gene checkpoint kinase 2 (CHEK2) are at an increased risk for developing breast and other cancers. While truncating variants ...
First international workshop of the ATM and cancer risk group (4-5 December 2019).
(SPRINGER, 2021-06-14)
The first International Workshop of the ATM and Cancer Risk group focusing on the role of Ataxia-Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) gene in cancer was held on December 4 and 5, 2019 at Institut Curie in Paris, France. It was ...
CanRisk-Prostate: A Comprehensive, Externally Validated Risk Model for the Prediction of Future Prostate Cancer.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2023-02-10)
PURPOSE: Prostate cancer (PCa) is highly heritable. No validated PCa risk model currently exists. We therefore sought to develop a genetic risk model that can provide personalized predicted PCa risks on the basis of known ...
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 ...
Prostate cancer risk stratification improvement across multiple ancestries with new polygenic hazard score.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2022-02-12)
BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer risk stratification using single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) demonstrates considerable promise in men of European, Asian, and African genetic ancestries, but there is still need for increased ...
A Rare Germline HOXB13 Variant Contributes to Risk of Prostate Cancer in Men of African Ancestry.
(ELSEVIER, 2022-05-01)
A rare African ancestry-specific germline deletion variant in HOXB13 (X285K, rs77179853) was recently reported in Martinican men with early-onset prostate cancer. Given the role of HOXB13 germline variation in prostate ...
Evidence of Novel Susceptibility Variants for Prostate Cancer and a Multiancestry Polygenic Risk Score Associated with Aggressive Disease in Men of African Ancestry.
(ELSEVIER, 2023-02-27)
BACKGROUND: Genetic factors play an important role in prostate cancer (PCa) susceptibility. OBJECTIVE: To discover common genetic variants contributing to the risk of PCa in men of African ancestry. DESIGN, SETTING, AND ...
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 ...
