Possible Tumor Suppressor and Aggressive Prostate Cancer Risk
The genetic factors that underlie the risk or progression of prostate cancer are largely unknown. In an exploratory study, Duggan et al. (p. 1836) analyzed 60,000 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for associations with a diagnosis of aggressive prostate cancer. The exploratory study identified seven candidate SNPs. Further testing in two cohorts—one composed of individuals of European descent and the other of African Americans—suggested that a possible tumor suppressor gene, DAB2IP, was in fact associated with an increased risk of aggressive prostate cancer.
