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 BARCODE1 Pilot: a feasibility study of using germline single nucleotide polymorphisms to target prostate cancer screening.
(WILEY, 2021-07-02)
OBJECTIVES: To assess the feasibility and uptake of a community-based prostate cancer (PCa) screening programme selecting men according to their genetic risk of PCa. To assess the uptake of PCa screening investigations by ...
Germline DNA Repair Gene Mutations in Young-onset Prostate Cancer Cases in the UK: Evidence for a More Extensive Genetic Panel.
(ELSEVIER, 2019-09-01)
BACKGROUND: Rare germline mutations in DNA repair genes are associated with prostate cancer (PCa) predisposition and prognosis. OBJECTIVE: To quantify the frequency of germline DNA repair gene mutations in UK PCa cases and ...
Association analyses of more than 140,000 men identify 63 new prostate cancer susceptibility loci.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-07-01)
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and fine-mapping efforts to date have identified more than 100 prostate cancer (PrCa)-susceptibility loci. We meta-analyzed genotype data from a custom high-density array of 46,939 ...
Rare germline variants in DNA repair genes and the angiogenesis pathway predispose prostate cancer patients to develop metastatic disease.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2018-07-03)
BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer (PrCa) demonstrates a heterogeneous clinical presentation ranging from largely indolent to lethal. We sought to identify a signature of rare inherited variants that distinguishes between these ...
Fine-mapping of prostate cancer susceptibility loci in a large meta-analysis identifies candidate causal variants.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-06-11)
Prostate cancer is a polygenic disease with a large heritable component. A number of common, low-penetrance prostate cancer risk loci have been identified through GWAS. Here we apply the Bayesian multivariate variable ...
Germline variation at 8q24 and prostate cancer risk in men of European ancestry.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-11-05)
Chromosome 8q24 is a susceptibility locus for multiple cancers, including prostate cancer. Here we combine genetic data across the 8q24 susceptibility region from 71,535 prostate cancer cases and 52,935 controls of European ...
Serum testosterone and prostate cancer in men with germline BRCA1/2 pathogenic variants.
(WILEY, 2023-05-01)
OBJECTIVES: The relation of serum androgens and the development of prostate cancer (PCa) is subject of debate. Lower total testosterone (TT) levels have been associated with increased PCa detection and worse pathological ...
Identification of Genes with Rare Loss of Function Variants Associated with Aggressive Prostate Cancer and Survival.
(Elsevier BV, 2024-03-07)
BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer (PrCa) is a substantial cause of mortality among men globally. Rare germline mutations in BRCA2 have been validated robustly as increasing risk of aggressive forms with a poorer prognosis; ...
Rare Germline Variants in ATM Predispose to Prostate Cancer: A PRACTICAL Consortium Study.
(ELSEVIER, 2021-01-09)
BACKGROUND: Germline ATM mutations are suggested to contribute to predisposition to prostate cancer (PrCa). Previous studies have had inadequate power to estimate variant effect sizes. OBJECTIVE: To precisely estimate the ...
