Dietary Heterocyclic Amines and Polymorphic Variants in the Etiology of Prostate Cancer

Abstract

This project is exploring the hypothesis that higher intake of dietary heterocyclic amines is associated with elevated risk of prostate cancer. It is also exploring the potential that polymorphic variation in key metabolism genes may affect risk. The project is using epidemiological methods to conduct a case-control study. We successful completed interviews on 387 cases and 343 controls. Biosamples were obtained on over 96% of participants. The questionnaires have been computerized and initial genotyping results have been obtained. Data are being prepared for final data analysis.
