Germline polygenic score for prostate cancer aggressiveness

This paper develops a germline polygenic score (PRSagg) to predict prostate cancer aggressiveness and validates it across multiple datasets.

Methylation reprogramming associated with aggressive prostate cancer and ancestral disparities

The paper investigates DNA methylation differences in prostate cancer across African, European, and Asian ancestries, finding ancestry-driven methylation patterns linked to disease aggressiveness in African tumors.

Identifying Rare Germline Variants Associated with Metastatic Prostate Cancer Through an Extreme Phenotype Study

This study identifies rare germline variants associated with metastatic prostate cancer using an extreme phenotype cohort and validates their functional impact.

Distinct druggable biological processes in early-onset prostate cancer

The paper uses machine learning to identify distinct biological processes and druggable targets in early-onset prostate cancer compared to late-onset prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer risk stratification improved across multiple ancestries with new polygenic hazard score

The paper improves prostate cancer risk stratification across multiple ancestries using a new polygenic hazard score with additional SNPs, showing higher hazard ratios and positive predictive value for clinically significant prostate cancer.

Performance of African-ancestry-specific polygenic hazard score varies according to local ancestry in 8q24

The paper assesses how the performance of an African-ancestry-specific polygenic hazard score varies with local ancestry in 8q24 using genetic data from 6,253 men with African ancestry.

Polygenic hazard score is associated with prostate cancer in multi-ethnic populations

This study evaluates a polygenic hazard score in multi-ethnic populations and finds it is associated with age at prostate cancer diagnosis, aggressive diagnosis, and death across European, Asian, and African ancestries.

Additional SNPs improve the performance of a polygenic hazard score for prostate cancer

This study improves a polygenic hazard score for prostate cancer by adding 120 SNPs, enhancing hazard ratios but not positive predictive value of PSA testing.

African-specific improvement of a polygenic hazard score for age at diagnosis of prostate cancer

The paper improves a polygenic hazard score for prostate cancer age at diagnosis by adding SNPs specific to African ancestry, enhancing performance in this population.

Assessment of Polygenic Architecture and Risk Prediction based on Common Variants Across Fourteen Cancers

This study assesses polygenicity and risk prediction using common variants across 14 cancers, finding varying numbers of susceptibility variants and risk score effectiveness.

The effect of sample size on polygenic hazard models for prostate cancer

This paper evaluates how sample size affects polygenic hazard score models for prostate cancer, finding that 20-30k samples are needed for discovery models, but 10k suffice if SNPs are pre-established.

A genetic hazard score to personalize prostate cancer screening, applied to population data

The paper evaluates a polygenic hazard score for prostate cancer screening, showing it improves positive predictive value by adjusting screening age based on genetic risk.

Large-scale transcriptome-wide association study identifies new prostate cancer risk regions

This study integrates a large prostate cancer GWAS with gene expression data to identify 235 genes associated with risk, prioritizing causal genes through Bayesian credible sets.

A genetic risk score to guide age-specific, personalized prostate cancer screening

This paper develops a genetic risk score to personalize prostate cancer screening age based on polygenic hazard scores and validates its predictive power in a separate dataset.
