For each doubling of baseline perflu...

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
