Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of death globally. It only affects men, and the risk of developing prostate cancer increases with age.
 
   Research identifies new genetic variations that could indicate higher prostate cancer riskResearch identifies new genetic variations that could indicate higher prostate cancer risk
 
As the result of a six-year long research process, Fredrick R. Schumacher, PhD, a cancer epidemiology researcher at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, and an international team of more than 100 colleagues have identified 63 new genetic variations that could indicate higher risk of prostate cancer in men of European descent.

 Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms and Prostate Cancer
 
Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms and Prostate CancerSingle nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are variations in a genome’s base pair in a DNA sequence, and occur in approximately 1 out of 800 base pairs. These occur when a single nucleotide is different from the norm, and it is termed as polymorphism when it occurs in the DNA of at least 1% of the population.
