Funded Activity Summary

We have recently replicated the genetic association of a region (5p15) with the risk of prostate cancer in Australian men. We now seek to identify the precise genetic variant behind this association, and the functional role of these novel gene/s and variants in disease pathology. Our results will provide a foundation for the development of sensitive and readily applicable lab-based screening tools to be used clinically and will also provide impetus for drug-targeted research by furthering our understanding on this multifactorial disease.
