Haplotype-Based Association Studies of IGFBP1 and IGFBP3 with Prostate and Breast Cancer Risk: The Multiethnic Cohort

Abstract: Collective evidence suggests that the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system plays a role in prostate and breast cancer risk. IGF-binding proteins (IGFBP) are the principal regulatory molecules that modulate IGF-I bioavailability in the circulation and tissues. To examine whether inherited differences in the IGFBP1 and IGFBP3 genes influence prostate and breast cancer susceptibility, we conducted two large population-based association studies of African Americans, Native Hawaiians, Japanese Americans, Latinos… Show more

“…In our study, we did not observe any association of the Ile253Met polymorphism with the risk of CRC. This result is in concordance with a recent study by Cheng et al (2006) in which they conducted a haplotype-based study and found no association with the risk of prostate and breast cancer.…”

“…In such a region, assaying for one marker would generally provide genotype information of all the others (Bennett & Todd 1996, Stephens et al 2005, Cheng et al 2006). To observe a dominant effect, our study had a 90% power to detect an OR of 1.4.…”
