Y chromosome haplogroups and prostate cancer in populations of European and Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry
AssociationN=7,810Wang Z. et al.(2012)· Human Genetics

Two-phase association study examining Y chromosome haplogroups and prostate cancer risk in 3,995 cases and 3,815 controls (Stage I) with replication in 1,272 European and 1,686 Ashkenazi Jewish cases. The rare E1b1b1c haplogroup showed nominally significant association with prostate cancer overall (P=0.012, OR=0.51; 95% CI 0.30-0.87) in Stage I, with meta-analysis of stages I and II revealing a nominally significant association with prostate cancer risk (P=0.010, OR=0.77; 95% CI 0.62-0.94).

About UTY

This gene encodes a protein containing tetratricopeptide repeats which are thought to be involved in protein-protein interactions. The encoded protein is also a minor histocompatibility antigen which may induce graft rejection of male stem cell grafts. A large number of alternatively spliced transcripts have been observed for this gene, but the full length nature of some of these variants has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]
