  • Evidence of Novel Susceptibility Variants for Prostate Cancer and a Multiancestry Polygenic Risk Score Associated with Aggressive Disease in Men of African Ancestry - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 36872133

    ABSTRACT: Background: Genetic factors play an important role in prostate cancer (PCa) susceptibility. Objective: To discover common genetic variants contributing to the risk of PCa in men of African ancestry. Design, setting, and participants: We conducted a meta-analysis of ten genome-wide association studies consisting of 19 378 cases and 61 620 controls of African ancestry. Outcome measurements and statistical analysis: Common genotyped and imputed variants were tested for their association with PCa risk. Novel susceptibility loci were identified and incorporated into a multiancestry polygenic risk score (PRS). The PRS was evaluated for associations with PCa risk and disease aggressiveness. Results and limitations: Nine novel susceptibility loci for PCa were identified, of which seven w

  • Characterizing prostate cancer risk through multi-ancestry genome-wide discovery of 187 novel risk variants - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 37945903

    [INTRO] Introduction [INTRO] The transferability and clinical value of genetic risk scores (GRS) across populations remains limited due to an imbalance in genetic studies across ancestrally diverse populations. We conducted a multi-ancestry genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 156,319 prostate cancer cases and 788,443 controls of European, African, Asian, and Hispanic men, reflecting a 57% increase in the number of non-European cases over previous prostate cancer GWAS. We identified 187 novel risk variants for prostate cancer, increasing the total number of risk variants to 451. An externally replicated multi-ancestry GRS was associated with risk that ranged from 1.8 (per standard deviation (SD)) in African ancestry men to 2.2 in European ancestry men. The GRS was associated with a gre
