Interactive effect of TLR SNPs and exposure to sexually transmitted infections on prostate cancer risk in Jamaican men
Background Prostate cancer (PC) risk increases with African ancestry and a history of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Also, single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in toll‐like receptor (TLR) genes influence PC risk. This pilot study explores interactions between STIs and TLR‐related SNPs in...

Zusammenfassung: | Background
Prostate cancer (PC) risk increases with African ancestry and a history of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Also, single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in toll‐like receptor (TLR) genes influence PC risk. This pilot study explores interactions between STIs and TLR‐related SNPs in relation to PC risk among Jamaican men.
Methods
This case‐control study evaluates two TLR related SNPs in 356 Jamaican men (194 controls and 162 cases) with or without history of STIs using stepwise penalized logistic regression in multivariable analyses.
