Text

We have used the GWAS data from the Cancer Genetics Markers of Susceptibility (CGEMS) project on prostate cancer (4) to demonstrate the utility of our method. This GWAS genotyped 550 K SNPs in 1172 prostate cancer cases and 1157 controls of European origin. We used our web utility to construct a small SNP genotyping panel for a genetic association study on prostate cancer in African-American and European-American men.
