Prostate cancer risk for 8q24 polymorphisms in current and previous studies of African Americans.

Two-sided P-values and odds ratios (OR) were adjusted for age at diagnosis and recruitment age of controls, global ancestry, and local 8q24 ancestry. In the current study, the ORs represent the effect of each extra copy of the denoted allele.

^aIndependent regions of risk defined previously by breakdown of linkage disequilibrium (Haiman et al. 2007).

^bPopulation consisted mainly of European Americans.

^c95% confidence intervals not reported.
