▶Associations of prostate cancer risk variants with disease aggressiveness: results of the NCI-SPORE Genetics Working Group analysis of 18,343 casesAssociationN=18,343Brian T. Helfand et al.(2015)· Human Genetics
A case-case association study of 18,343 prostate cancer patients (16,515 European, 1,828 African-American) evaluating 36 validated PC-risk SNPs found that rs2735839 (G allele) on chromosome 19q13 in the KLK3 gene was significantly and inversely associated with aggressive disease and high Gleason scores in both populations (p = 9.343 × 10⁻⁸ overall, p = 1.042 × 10⁻⁵ European, p = 2.0 × 10⁻⁴ African-American).
▶A genome-wide association study of prostate cancer in West African menAssociationN=932Michael Blaise Cook et al.(2014)· Human Genetics
Genome-wide association study of 474 prostate cancer cases and 458 controls from West African men identified a novel prostate cancer susceptibility locus at 10p14 marked by rs7918885 (p=1.29×10⁻⁷), localized to an intron of the lncRNA gene RP11-543F8.2. A stratified analysis by Gleason score revealed additional associations including rs34575154 in PCDHA1 at 5q31.3 (p=3.66×10⁻⁸) for high-grade disease and rs985081 at Xq28 (p=8.66×10⁻⁹) for low-grade disease. Validation in the African Ancestry Prostate Cancer GWAS Consortium showed limited replication, with only rs2993385 at 10p14 reaching nominal significance (p<0.05), highlighting population-specific genetic architecture.
About PDLIM5
This gene encodes a member of a family of proteins that possess a 100-amino acid PDZ domain at the N terminus and one to three LIM domains at the C-terminus. This family member functions as a scaffold protein that tethers protein kinases to the Z-disk in striated muscles. It is thought to function in cardiomyocyte expansion and in restraining postsynaptic growth of excitatory synapses. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.
