Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), manufactured chemicals used in products such as food packaging and cosmetics, can lead to reproductive problems, increased cancer risk and other health issues.

<p style="text-align:start">In one of the first longitudinal studies of its kind, new USC research shows a link between exposure to PFAS and decreased bone mineral density in Hispanic teens and young adults.  The researchers studied 304 Hispanic adolescents from the Study of Latino Adolescents at Risk of Type 2 Diabetes, collecting blood samples to measure PFAS levels and dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans to measure bone density, then followed up af...

A globe-spanning scientific team has compiled the most comprehensive list of genetic variants associated with prostate cancer risk -; 451 in all -; through a whole-genome analysis that ranks as the largest and most diverse investigation into prostate cancer genetics yet.

An international collaboration led by USC explored the genomes of nearly 950,000 men, finding a total of 451 variants and refining what is known about genetic risk for prostate cancer. A globe-spanning scientific team has compiled the most comprehensive list of genetic variants associated with pr

<p style="text-align:start">A globe-spanning scientific team has compiled the most comprehensive list of genetic variants associated with prostate cancer risk — 451 in all — through a whole-genome analysis that ranks as the largest and most diverse investigation into prostate cancer genetics yet. The research explored the genomes of nearly 950,000 men, including major increases in representation among men from racial and ethnic groups that have often been left...

An international research team led by scientists in the Center for Genetic Epidemiology at the Keck School of Medicine of USC and USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center has singled out mutations in 11 genes that are associated with aggressive forms of prostate cancer.

An international research team led by USC scientists has singled out mutations in 11 genes that are associated with aggressive forms of prostate cancer in the largest-scale prostate cancer study ever exploring the exome — the key sections of the genetic code that contain the instructions to make proteins. The researchers analyzed samples from about 17,500 prostate cancer patients. They also found some genes that are currently part of such panels are not linked with risk for aggressive disease....
