Abstract
Prostate cancer susceptibility has previously been associated with truncating germline variants in the gene TP53AIP1 (tumor protein p53 regulated apoptosis inducing protein 1). For two apparently recurrent mutations (p.Q22fs and p.S32X) a remarkable OR of 5.1 was reported for prostate cancer risk. Since these findings have not been validated so far, we genotyped p.Q22fs and p.S32X in two German series with a total of 1,207 prostate cancer cases and 1,495 controls. The truncating variants were not significantly associated with prostate cancer in none of the two cohorts, nor in the combined analysis [odds ratio (OR) = 1.16; 95% confidence interval (CI 95%) = 0.62–2.15; p = 0.66]. Carriers showed no significant differences in family history of prostate cancer, age at diagnosis, Gleason score or PSA at diagnosis when compared to non-carrier prostate cancer cases. The large sample size of the combined cohort rejects a high-risk effect greater than 2.2 and indicates a limited role of TP53AIP1 in prostate cancer predisposition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Prostate cancer has a genetic component, and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) can contribute to the risk. We aimed to investigate the role of polymorphisms in 10 candidate genes with a key function in apoptosis. METHODS AND MATERIALS Eight coding SNPs were chosen in ATM (Ser49Cys), BID (Ser56Cys), CASP8 (Asp302His), CASP10 (Val410Ile), LGALS3 (Pro64His), RASSF1 (Ser133Ala), TP53 (Arg72Pro), and TP53AIP1 (Ala7Val), and two non-coding SNPs were selected in BCL2 (-938C/A) and HDM2 (SNP309). A hospital-based case-control series of 510 prostate cancer patients and 490 healthy males from Northern Germany were genotyped for these polymorphisms. RESULTS SNP rs4644 in LGALS3 showed evidence for a protective effect of the minor allele, encoding the His64 variant (OR 0.82, 95% CI 0.69;0.99, P = 0.04). Carriers were underrepresented among cases under a dominant model (OR 0.71; 95% CI 0.54;0.92; P = 0.01), and the effect appeared more pronounced in patients diagnosed before the age of 60 years (OR 0.52; 95% CI 0.31;0.85, P = 0.01). The other nine polymorphisms did not vary significantly between cases and controls, though subtle trends were noted for BCL2 (P = 0.07) and CASP10 (P = 0.08). The Asp302His variant of CASP8 tended to associate with a protective effect in the group with higher Gleason score under a dominant model (P = 0.03). Carriers of either the CASP8 or the CASP10 variants were underrepresented in the prostate cancer series (P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS These results provide first evidence to implicate the functional Pro64His variant of galectin-3 (LGALS3) in the genetic susceptibility towards prostate cancer. The potential role of polymorphisms in BCL2, CASP8, and CASP10 merits further investigation.

Abstract
Previous studies have suggested that minor alleles for ERCC4 rs744154, TNF rs361525, CASP10 rs13010627, PGR rs1042838, and BID rs8190315 may influence breast cancer risk, but the evidence is inconclusive due to their small sample size. These polymorphisms were genotyped in more than 30,000 breast cancer cases and 30,000 controls, primarily of European descent, from 30 studies in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium. We calculated odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) as a measure of association. We found that the minor alleles for these polymorphisms were not related to invasive breast cancer risk overall in women of European descent: ECCR4 per-allele OR (95% CI) = 0.99 (0.97-1.02), minor allele frequency = 27.5%; TNF 1.00 (0.95-1.06), 5.0%; CASP10 1.02 (0.98-1.07), 6.5%; PGR 1.02 (0.99-1.06), 15.3%; and BID 0.98 (0.86-1.12), 1.7%. However, we observed significant between-study heterogeneity for associations with risk for single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in CASP10, PGR, and BID. Estimates were imprecise for women of Asian and African descent due to small numbers and lower minor allele frequencies (with the exception of BID SNP). The ORs for each copy of the minor allele were not significantly different by estrogen or progesterone receptor status, nor were any significant interactions found between the polymorphisms and age or family history of breast cancer. In conclusion, our data provide persuasive evidence against an overall association between invasive breast cancer risk and ERCC4 rs744154, TNF rs361525, CASP10 rs13010627, PGR rs1042838, and BID rs8190315 genotypes among women of European descent.
