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 ...
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 ...
Updates in Prostate Cancer Research and Screening in Men at Genetically Higher Risk.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2021-01-01)
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Prostate cancer (PrCa) is the most common cancer in men in the western world and is a major source of morbidity and mortality. Currently, general population PrCa screening is not recommended due to the ...
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 ...
Genomic evolution shapes prostate cancer disease type.
(Elsevier BV, 2024-03-13)
The development of cancer is an evolutionary process involving the sequential acquisition of genetic alterations that disrupt normal biological processes, enabling tumor cells to rapidly proliferate and eventually invade ...
Evaluating Germline Testing Panels in Southern African Males With Advanced Prostate Cancer.
(HARBORSIDE PRESS, 2023-03-01)
BACKGROUND: Germline testing for prostate cancer is on the increase, with clinical implications for risk assessment, treatment, and management. Regardless of family history, NCCN recommends germline testing for patients ...
