The HOXB13 G84E mutation was detected by means of both direct sequencing and high-throughput genotyping approaches. CEU denotes Centre d’Etude du Polymorphisme Humain from Utah, NA not applicable, and UM-PCGP University of Michigan Prostate Cancer Genetics Project.

Case subjects were compared with 1401 control subjects at Johns Hopkins University.

Case subjects were compared with 1401 control subjects at Johns Hopkins University plus 1233 subjects in the Exome Sequencing Project and 28 unrelated genotyped subjects from the CEU HapMap.

§

This category includes unrelated subjects with prostate cancer, excluding the 85 families of European descent used for discovery. The youngest available subject with prostate cancer was selected from families that had more than one subject with the disease.
