Assessment of association between common variants at 17q12 and prostate cancer risk-evidence from Serbian population and meta--analysis.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to evaluate possible association between genotypes and alleles of two 17q12 polymorphisms (rs3760511 and rs7501939) and prostate cancer (PCa) risk and progression. Two hundred seventy-one patients with PCa, 261 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and 171 controls were included in the study. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped by using PCR followed by restriction fragment length (PCR-RFLP) analysis. We conducted meta-analysis of published studies regarding association of these SNPs with PCa risk. Evidence of positive association between the AC genotype of the SNP rs3760511 and BPH risk for the best-fitting overdominant model of association (BPH vs. controls comparison, p = 0.026; odds ratio [OR] = 1.58; 95% confidence interval [95%CI] 1.05-2.
