Association of genetic polymorphisms at 8q24 with the risk of prostate cancer in a Japanese population

The Prostate

Abstract

Genetic factors, as well as a combination of environmental factors, contribute to the risk of prostate cancer (PC). Recently, genome-wide linkage studies found several independent single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are strongly associated with PC on chromosome 8q24. We analyzed two of these SNPs, rs1447295 and rs6983267, to examine association with the risk of PC in Japanese men. These SNPs were examined by a mismatch PCR-RFLP method in 507 PC patients (286 aggressive and 221 non-aggressive) and in 511 non-PC patients (124 benign prostatic hyperplasia and 387 normal male controls) and the allele frequencies were then compared between groups. The rs1447295 A allele was associated with susceptibility to PC (PC vs. non-PC: P = 0.041; OR, 1.28; 95%CI = 1.01-1.61), and was more significantly associated with disease in aggressive PC (aggressive PC vs. normal controls, P = 0.013; OR, 1.43; 95%CI = 1.08-1.90). The rs6983267 G allele did not show significant association with susceptibility to PC (PC vs. non-PC: P = 0.967; OR, 1.00; 95%CI = 0.83-1.21). However, it was associated with disease in non-aggressive PC (non-aggressive PC vs. normal controls: P = 0.0068; OR, 1.43; 95%CI = 1.10-1.85). The two SNPs at 8q24 were associated...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
