In the control of prostate cancer, the identification of risk factors and the promotion of active preventive medicine can provide enormous benefits to the super-aging society of the authors' future.
Relaxation of insulin-like growth factor II gene imprinting implicated in Wilms' tumour
The IGF2 gene is expressed from the paternal allele in human fetal tissue, but that in Wilms' tumour expression can occur biallelically, providing the first evidence that relaxation of imprinting may play a role in the onset of disease.

Type VI 3β-hydroxyl-steroid dehydrogenase (Hsd3b6) is identified as a new hypertension risk factor in mice and placed in a pivotal position through which circadian clock malfunction is coupled to the development of hypertension.

A large-scale genome-wide association study in a Japanese population provides insights into the etiology of complex diseases and highlights the importance of performing GWAS in non-European populations.
Genome-wide association study identifies five new susceptibility loci for prostate cancer in the Japanese population

Five new loci for prostate cancer susceptibility are reported here, at 5p15 (λ-corrected probability PGC = 3.9 × 10−18), GPRC6A/RFX6 (PGC = 1.6 ×10−12), 13q22 ( PGC = 2.8 × 10–10−9), C2orf43 (PGD = 7.5 × 10.–8) and FOXP4 (PGE = 7−8).
Increased risk of prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia associated with a CYP17 gene polymorphism with a gene dosage effect.
- T. Habuchi, Z. Liqing, T. Kato

- 15 October 2000
The results suggest that the A1 allele of the CYP17 polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer and BPH, with a gene dosage effect, however, the CyP17 genotype does not seem to influence the disease status in prostate cancer.
