We found nominal evidence (P < 0.05) for association between prostate cancer and three chromosome 8q24 (rs6983561, rs16901979, and rs7000448) and two 10q11 (rs7904463 and rs10740051) SNPs.

T46I is the second mutation on the hVAPB MSP domain which was recently identified from non-Brazilian kindred to cause a familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Our study provides the structural and dynamic understanding of the T46I-causing ALS; and strongly highlights the possibility that the interplay of two signaling networks mediated by the FFAT-containing proteins and Eph receptors may play a key role in ALS pathogenesis.
In conclusion, loci associated with risk for prostate cancer, such as rs7920517 and rs10993994, might also be used to predict the recurrence of prostate-specific antigen in prostate cancer patients receiving radical prostatectomy.
Cells with prostate cancer risk alleles at rs10993994 seem to cope more efficiently with DNA double strand breaks (less MN) in a shorter time (decreased MD index).
Of note, rs7000448 is in strong linkage disequilibrium with rs10761581 in NCOA4, a SNP that has been implicated to be independently associated, with respect to the widely reported SNP rs10993994 in the nearby gene MSMB, with prostate cancer in men of European descent.

PCa susceptibility was associated with TT genotype of SNP rs10993994 in this cohort of Scottish men and the increased risk of PCa was modified by serum enterolactone concentrations.
We examined the association between rs10993994 genotype and MSP levels in a sample of 500 prostate cancer-free men from four racial/ethnic populations in the Multiethnic Cohort (European Americans, African Americans, Latinos, and Japanese Americans).
Overall, we detected a genome-wide significant association between PSA levels and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at six loci: 5p15.33 (rs2736098), 10q11 (rs10993994), 10q26 (rs10788160), 12q24 (rs11067228), 17q12 (rs4430796), and 19q13.33 [rs17632542 (KLK3: I179T)], each with P(combined) <3 × 10(-10).
rs10993994 in MSMB promoter affects serum MSMB expression, contributes to the genetic predisposition to prostate cancer in southern Chinese Han population.
After allowing for multiple testing, none of the SNPs examined were significantly associated with growth factor or hormone concentrations, and the SNP-prostate cancer associations did not differ by these concentrations, although 4 interactions were marginally significant (MSMB-rs10993994 with androstenedione (uncorrected P = 0.008); CTBP2-rs4962416 with IGFBP-3 (uncorrected P = 0.003); 11q13.2-rs12418451 with IGF-1 (uncorrected P = 0.006); and 11q13.2-rs10896449 with SHBG (uncorrected P = 0.005)).
Our results suggest a mechanism by which rs10993994 might predispose to prostate cancer and raise the possibility that genetic variation might need to be considered in interpreting the levels of these biomarkers.
Recent functional work has shown that different alleles of the significantly associated SNP in the promoter of MSMB found to be associated with prostate cancer risk, rs10993994, can influence its expression in tumors and in vitro studies.

For the two SNPs that had significant differences between more and less aggressive disease rs2735839 in KLK3 (P = 8.4 x 10(-7)) and rs10993994 in MSMB (P = 0.046), the alleles that are associated with increased risk for PCa were more frequent in patients with less aggressive disease.
