Continuous and Cut Point Analyses of Prostate Cancer Risk with Decreased CAG-Repeat Length[Note]

Findings for CAG-Repeat Length
Continuous
<22 versus ⩾22
<23 versus ⩾23
Subjects No. of Controls/Cases ORa 95% CI Pb ORa 95% CI Pb ORa 95% CI Pb
All cases 2,160/2,036 1.016 .997–1.036 .11 1.084 .954–1.231 .22 1.115 .981–1.267 .09
Advanced cases 2,160/686 1.015 .988–1.044 .28 1.094 .913–1.310 .33 1.122 .936–1.345 .21
Local cases 2,160/1,239 1.013 .991–1.036 .25 1.068 .922–1.238 .38 1.087 .937–1.261 .27

Note.— There is no statistically significant association between the CAG-microsatellite polymorphism and prostate cancer risk for the entire population or when stratified by stage. Multiple analyses were performed, by using two cut points (22 and 23) as well as by modeling the CAG-repeat length as a continuous variable. These analyses demonstrate no significant association between prostate cancer risk and CAG-repeat length.
