187 new genetic variants linked to prostate cancer found in largest, most diverse study of its kind

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. The research explored the genomes of nearly 950,000 men, including major increases in representation among men from racial and ethnic groups that have often been left out of such research.
