Abstract
Vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms are prostate cancer risk candidates. We determined if SNPs in haplotype block sub-regions C2 (SNPs C2-1, G/C(3436), C2-2, A/G(3944)) or C1 (C1-1, C/T(20965), C1-2, C/T(30056)) are associated with risk in an ultraviolet radiation (UVR)-dependent manner. In men with very low exposure, SNPs in both sub-regions were associated with risk. Various haplotypes in haplotype block C including G(3436)-A(3944)-C(20965)-C(30056), (G or C)-A-C-C and G-A-(C or T)-C were significantly associated with increased risk (odds ratios between 1.95 and 2.37). These findings suggest various block C SNPs are associated with prostate cancer risk via a mechanism involving exposure to sunlight.Entities:
