Multiple Independent Genetic Variants in the 8q24 Region Are Associated with Prostate Cancer Risk

Abstract: Recently, the 8q24 region has been identified as a prostate cancer susceptibility locus in a genome-wide scan of prostate cancer families in Iceland and an admixture scan of African Americans. Further investigations of variants at 8q24 have shown the existence of additional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that enhance prostate cancer risk, suggesting the possibility of multiple regions harboring variants for the disease. In the present population-based study of Caucasians (1,308 cases and 1,266 controls… Show more

“…After further evaluation, we found only 24 casecontrol studies from 19 articles that were suitable for our meta-analysis of rs6983267 (Haiman et al, 2007;Yeager et al, 2007;Zheng et al, 2007;Cheng et al, 2008;Salinas et al, 2008;Terada et al, 2008;Wokolorczyk et al, 2008;Beuten et al, 2009;Liu et al, 2009;Penney et al, 2009;Zheng et al, 2009;Liu et al, 2011;Papanikolopoulou et al, 2011;Joung et al, 2012;Brankovic et al, 2013;Ho et al, 2013;Chan et al, 2013;Zhao et al, 2013;Oskina et al, 2014). Among these, 16 studies included populations of European descent and 8 included populations of Asian descent.…”

“…Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in several genetic loci like 8q24, 22q13 and 17q12 were reported to be linked to PCa susceptibility, early onset of the disease and tumor agressiveness (Al Olama, et al, 2014; Berndt, et al, 2015; Chang, et al, 2009; Cheng, et al, 2009; Eeles, et al, 2009; Eeles, et al, 2013; Gudmundsson, et al, 2009; Helfand, et al, 2015; Levin, et al, 2008; Salinas, et al, 2008; Schumacher, et al, 2011; Takata, et al, 2010; Thomas, et al, 2008; Witte, 2007). Although little is known about the functional aspect of risk SNPs, some studies showed cancer SNPs predominately present in multiple putative regulatory elements (2011; Sille, et al, 2012).…”

“…(Gudmundsson, 2007;Murphy, 2012) Asian studies, however, have been restricted to one Japanese GWAS, one Chinese replication study (Liu et al, 2011) and several small-scale studies in Japanese, Taiwanese and southern Chinese populations (Terada, 2008;M et al, 2009;Liu, 2009;M et al, 2010;Takata, 2010;Liu, 2010). To date, GWASs have revealed 16 loci on chromosomal band 8q24 associated with PCa risk in various populations worldwide (Amundadottir et al, 2006;Yeager et al, 2007;Christopher et al, 2007;Schumacher et al, 2007;Robbins, 2007;Gudmundsson, 2007;Terada, 2008;Gilles Thomas et al, 2008;Salinas, 2008;Tan, 2008;, Eeles et al, 2009Gudmundsson, 2009;Liu, 2009;M et al, 2009;Takata, 2010;Liu, 2010;Liu et al, 2011;Murphy, 2012). Enhancer elements located in the 8q24 regions associated with susceptibility to PCa have been reported to increase Myc promoter activity (Sotelo et al, 2010).…”
