A genome-wide association study of prostate cancer in West African men
AssociationN=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 RGS17

This gene encodes a member of the regulator of G-protein signaling family. This protein contains a conserved, 120 amino acid motif called the RGS domain and a cysteine-rich region. The protein attenuates the signaling activity of G-proteins by binding to activated, GTP-bound G alpha subunits and acting as a GTPase activating protein (GAP), increasing the rate of conversion of the GTP to GDP. This hydrolysis allows the G alpha subunits to bind G beta/gamma subunit heterodimers, forming inactive G-protein heterotrimers, thereby terminating the signal. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
