*

15 cases and 8 controls have missing data for the TCF7L2 SNP (rs 12255372).

Less aggressive prostate cancer includes Gleason scores 2-6 or 7 (3+4) and local stage and PSA <20 ng/ml at diagnosis; More aggressive prostate cancer includes Gleason Scores 7 (4+3) or 8-10 or regional or distant cancer stage or a serum PSA ≥20 ng/ml at diagnosis.
