New gene research helps pinpoint prostate cancer risk
QUT Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation’s Dr Jyotsna Batra and Distinguished Professor Judith Clements, who led the Australian researchers in the large consortia of research hubs around the world, said the teams analysed more than 10 million genetic markers in 80,000 men. “It’s the largest analysis of genetic biomarkers ever done. We found another 23 new prostate cancer risk loci (sites) on the genome in addition to the 76 identified previously,” Dr Batra said. …
