Two SNPs in TLR10 [rs11096955" genes_norm="81793">I369L (rs11096955) and rs11096957" genes_norm="81793">N241H (rs11096957)] and 4 SNPs in TLR1 [N248S (rs4833095), S26L (rs5743596), rs5743595 and rs5743551] were associated with a statistically significant reduced risk of prostate cancer of 29-38% (for the homozygous variant genotype).
We genotyped 19 common (>5%) haplotype-tagging SNPs chosen from the SNPs discovered in a resequencing study spanning TLR6, TLR1, and TLR10 to test for the association between sequence variants cluster and prostate cancer.
In this study, we investigated whether sequence variants in the TLR6-TLR1-TLR10 gene cluster, residing within a 54-kb region on 4p14, were associated with prostate cancer risk.
