Laser-Induced Auto Fluorescence of Normal and Tumor Bladder Cells and Tissues

Urothelial carcinoma in situ (CIS) is clearly related to tumor recurrence and subsequent cancer progression¹. CIS detection remains a challenge for urologists since this lesion, which is only a few cell layers in...

Molecular analysis of the FHIT gene in human prostate cancer

A variety of studies suggest that the FHIT gene, which encompasses the fragile site at 3p14.2, is a candidate tumor suppressor gene in several forms of human cancer. To determine whether the FHIT gene is alter...

PTEN/MMAC1/TEP1 involvement in primary prostate cancers

The PTEN/MMAC1/TEP1 gene, located at 10q23.3, is a tumor suppressor gene responsible for the familial cancer syndromes Cowden disease and Bannayan-Zonana syndrome, and is commonly somatically mutated in several t...

Genome-wide association study of prostate cancer identifies a second risk locus at 8q24

Recently, common variants on human chromosome 8q24 were found to be associated with prostate cancer risk. While conducting a genome-wide association study in the Cancer Genetic Markers of Susceptibility projec...

Multiple loci identified in a genome-wide association study of prostate cancer

We followed our initial genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 527,869 SNPs on 1,172 individuals with prostate cancer and 1,157 controls of European origin—nested in the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovaria...

Identification of a new prostate cancer susceptibility locus on chromosome 8q24

Meredith Yeager and colleagues with the Cancer Genetics Markers of Susceptibility (CGEMS) initiative report a new association to prostate cancer at chromosome 8q24. This defines a new locus, region 4, which sh...

A multi-stage genome-wide association study of bladder cancer identifies multiple susceptibility loci

Montserrat Garcia-Closas and colleagues report a genome-wide association study for bladder cancer. They identify three new susceptibility loci on chromosomes 22q13.1, 19q12 and 2q37.1.

Validation of prostate cancer risk-related loci identified from genome-wide association studies using family-based association analysis: evidence from the International Consortium for Prostate Cancer Genetics (ICPCG)

Multiple prostate cancer (PCa) risk-related loci have been discovered by genome-wide association studies (GWAS) based on case–control designs. However, GWAS findings may be confounded by population stratificat...

Association analysis of 9,560 prostate cancer cases from the International Consortium of Prostate Cancer Genetics confirms the role of reported prostate cancer associated SNPs for familial disease

Previous GWAS studies have reported significant associations between various common SNPs and prostate cancer risk using cases unselected for family history. How these variants influence risk in familial prosta...

Associations of prostate cancer risk variants with disease aggressiveness: results of the NCI-SPORE Genetics Working Group analysis of 18,343 cases

Genetic studies have identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with the risk of prostate cancer (PC). It remains unclear whether such genetic variants are associated with disease aggressiven...

Chimeric EWSR1-FLI1 regulates the Ewing sarcoma susceptibility gene EGR2 via a GGAA microsatellite

Olivier Delattre and colleagues show that a Ewing sarcoma susceptibility variant at 10q21.3 influences EGR2 expression by altering the activity of an enhancer bound by EWSR1-FLI1. They further show that EGR2 k...

Genome-wide association of familial prostate cancer cases identifies evidence for a rare segregating haplotype at 8q24.21

Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of prostate cancer risk focused on cases unselected for family history and have reported over 100 significant associations. The International Consortium for Pros...
