A genetic hazard score to personalize prostate cancer screening, applied to population data
- Abstract:
-
Background Genetic risk stratification may inform decisions of whether—and when—a man should undergo prostate cancer (PCa) screening. We previously validated a polygenic hazard score (PHS), a weighted sum of 54 single-nucleotide polymorphism genotypes, for accurate prediction of age of onset of aggressive PCa and improved screening performance. We now assess the potential impact of PHS-informed screening.Methods United Kingdom population data were fit to a continuous model of age-specific PCa...
