Abstract
Purpose: Two recent genome-wide association studies have highlighted several SNPs purported to be associated with prostate cancer risk. We investigated the significance of these SNPs in a population-based study of Caucasian men, testing the effects of each SNP in relation to family history of prostate cancer and clinicopathological features of disease. Experimental Design: We genotyped 13 SNPs in 1,308 prostate cancer patients and 1,267 unaffected controls frequency matched to cases by five-year age groups. The association of each SNP with disease risk and stratified by family history of prostate cancer and clinicopathological features of disease was calculated using logistic and polytomous regression. Results: These results confirm the importance of multiple previously reported SNPs in relation to prostate cancer susceptibility; 11 of the 13 SNPs were significantly associated with risk of developing prostate cancer. However, none of the SNP associations were of comparable magnitude to that associated with having a first-degree family history of the disease. Risk estimates associated with SNPs rs4242382 and rs2735839 varied by family history, while risk estimates for rs10993994 and rs5945619 varied by Gleason score. Conclusions: Our results confirm that several recently identified SNPs are associated with prostate cancer risk; however the variant alleles only confer a low to moderate relative risk of disease and are generally not associated with more aggressive disease features.
