This study was designed to use a prospectively analyzed, population-based, multiethnic cohort of men to determine if there is a relationship between one measure of obesity/overweight (Body Mass Index) and Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA).
To define host genetic effects on the outcome of a chronic viral infection, we performed genome-wide association analysis in a multiethnic cohort of HIV-1 controllers and progressors, and we analyzed the effects of individual amino acids within the classical human leukocyte antigen (HLA) proteins.
The expression of the UGT2B15, UGT2B17, and UGT2B28 enzymes has not been evaluated in prostate tissue samples from hormone therapy-naïve patients.We determined the expression of UGT2B15, UGT2B17, and UGT2B28 enzymes in 190 prostate tissue samples from surgical specimens of a multiethnic cohort of patients undergoing radical prostatectomy at the Durham Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
Indeed, in a prospective multiethnic cohort of 250 SSc patients, low BMI was among the 7 independent variables predictive of mortality.
In a multiethnic cohort of breast cancer survivors, women with ER negative breast cancer had significantly lower serum 25OHD than those with ER positive tumors [24], and in a case-control study with both pre- and postmenopausal women, reduced risk of breast cancer with higher 25OHD levels was found only among women with ER-/PR- tumors [26].
In this multiethnic cohort of women, we observed notable variation in strengths of association across ethnicity.
This observation was also confirmed by another multiethnic cohort of U.S. postmenopausal women [ 30].
The Mount Sinai Children's Environmental Health study enrolled a prospective multiethnic cohort of primiparous women with singleton pregnancies.
For referable diabetic retinopathy in the 10 additional datasets, AUC range was 0.889 to 0.983 (n = 40 752 images).In this evaluation of retinal images from multiethnic cohorts of patients with diabetes, the DLS had high sensitivity and specificity for identifying diabetic retinopathy and related eye diseases.
To our knowledge, the only two available studies have investigated DNA methylation in multiethnic cohorts of healthy women [ 19] and of men affected by prostate cancer [ 20].
