Multiple newly identified loci associated with prostate cancer susceptibility.

TL;DR: A genome-wide association study using blood DNA samples from 1,854 individuals with clinically detected prostate cancer diagnosed at ≤60 years or with a family history of disease, and 1,894 population-screened controls with a low prostate-specific antigen (PSA) concentration (<0.5 ng/ml) identified seven loci associated with prostate cancer on chromosomes 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 19 and X.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association analyses of more than 140,000 men identify 63 new prostate cancer susceptibility loci

Fredrick R. Schumacher, +207 more
- 11 Jun 2018 - 
TL;DR: A large meta-analysis combining genome-wide and custom high-density genotyping array data identifies 63 new susceptibility loci for prostate cancer, enhancing fine-mapping efforts and providing insights into the underlying biology of PrCa1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of 23 new prostate cancer susceptibility loci using the iCOGS custom genotyping array

Rosalind A. Eeles, +156 more
- 01 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a custom Illumina array (iCOGS) was used to genotype 211,155 SNPs in blood DNA from 25,074 prostate cancer cases and 24,272 controls from the international PRACTICAL Consortium.
Journal ArticleDOI

A meta-analysis of 87,040 individuals identifies 23 new susceptibility loci for prostate cancer

Ali Amin Al Olama, +179 more
- 01 Oct 2014 - 
TL;DR: These findings provide new regions for investigation into the pathogenesis of prostate cancer and demonstrate the usefulness of combining ancestrally diverse populations to discover risk loci for disease.
Journal Article

Identification of seven new prostate cancer susceptibility loci through a genome-wide association study

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a genome-wide association study in which 541,129 SNPs were genotyped in 1,854 prostate cancer cases with clinically detected disease and 1,894 controls.
