Prostate Cancer Risk in Relation to IGF-I and Its Genetic Determinants: A Case Control Study Within the Cancer Prostate Sweden Project (CAPS)

Abstract

A large genetic association study is being conducted, to examine relationships of prostate cancer risk with polymorphic variation in a series of selected candidate genes that are involved in pathways determining the synthesis of IGF-I and IGF-binding proteins, as well as biological response to IGF-l. The study is being performed within a large Swedish case-control study ("CAPS").
