Performance of an adipokine pathway-based multilocus genetic risk score for prostate cancer risk prediction.

Few biomarkers are available to predict prostate cancer risk. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) tend to have weak individual effects but, in combination, they have stronger predictive value. Adipokine pathways have been implicated in the pathogenesis. We used a candidate pathway approach to inv...
