Polygenic hazard score to guide screening for aggressive prostate cancer: development and validation in large scale cohorts.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-01-10)
OBJECTIVES: To develop and validate a genetic tool to predict age of onset of aggressive prostate cancer (PCa) and to guide decisions of who to screen and at what age. DESIGN: Analysis of genotype, PCa status, and age to ...
Germline variants in IL4, MGMT and AKT1 are associated with prostate cancer-specific mortality: An analysis of 12,082 prostate cancer cases.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-06-01)
BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer (PCa) is a leading cause of mortality and genetic factors can influence tumour aggressiveness. Several germline variants have been associated with PCa-specific mortality (PCSM), but further ...
Alcohol consumption and prostate cancer incidence and progression: A Mendelian randomisation study.
(WILEY, 2017-01-01)
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in developed countries, and is a target for risk reduction strategies. The effects of alcohol consumption on prostate cancer incidence and survival remain unclear, potentially ...
SNP interaction pattern identifier (SIPI): an intensive search for SNP-SNP interaction patterns.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2017-03-15)
MOTIVATION: Testing SNP-SNP interactions is considered as a key for overcoming bottlenecks of genetic association studies. However, related statistical methods for testing SNP-SNP interactions are underdeveloped. RESULTS: ...
Use of a Novel Nonparametric Version of DEPTH to Identify Genomic Regions Associated with Prostate Cancer Risk.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2016-12-01)
BACKGROUND: We have developed a genome-wide association study analysis method called DEPTH (DEPendency of association on the number of Top Hits) to identify genomic regions potentially associated with disease by considering ...
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 ...
Prostate Cancer Germline Variations and Implications for Screening and Treatment.
(COLD SPRING HARBOR LAB PRESS, PUBLICATIONS DEPT, 2018-09-04)
Prostate cancer (PCa) is a highly heritable disease, and rapid evolution of sequencing technologies has enabled marked progression of our understanding of its genetic inheritance. A complex polygenic model that involves ...
Height, selected genetic markers and prostate cancer risk: results from the PRACTICAL consortium.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-08-22)
BACKGROUND: Evidence on height and prostate cancer risk is mixed, however, recent studies with large data sets support a possible role for its association with the risk of aggressive prostate cancer. METHODS: We analysed ...
Genome-Wide Meta-Analyses of Breast, Ovarian, and Prostate Cancer Association Studies Identify Multiple New Susceptibility Loci Shared by at Least Two Cancer Types.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2016-09-01)
UNLABELLED: Breast, ovarian, and prostate cancers are hormone-related and may have a shared genetic basis, but this has not been investigated systematically by genome-wide association (GWA) studies. Meta-analyses combining ...
