<h4>Background</h4>Three SNPs at 17q12 and four SNPs at 17q24.3 were recently identified to be associated with prostate cancer risk using a genome-wide association study.<h4>Methods</h4>We evaluated these 7 SNPs in two hospital-based case-control study populations, including European Americans (EA; 1,563 cases and 576 controls) and African Americans (AA; 364 cases and 353 controls).<h4>Results</h4>Each of the reported risk alleles of these seven SNPs were more common in cases than in controls am ...[more]
