Genome-wide association of familial prostate cancer cases identifies evidence for a rare segregating haplotype at 8q24.21
AssociationN=3,893Teerlink CC et al.(2016)· Human Genetics

This genome-wide association study of 2511 familial prostate cancer cases and 1382 controls identified significant associations in six regions previously linked to prostate cancer risk. Most notably, rs138042437 at 8q24.21 achieved an exceptionally large effect size (OR=13.3, p=1.7e-8) and demonstrated strong co-segregation with disease in 116 affected relatives (p=8.5e-11). The study identified a rare segregating haplotype at 8q24.21 containing three SNPs (rs183373024, rs188140481, rs138042437) that characterized a prostate cancer predisposition locus.
