__DATA__
Whole-genome scan studies recently identified a locus on 
Xq27-q28 Xq11-q12 22q12.1 1q42.2-q43 19q 17p11 1q25 13q12.3 
11p11.2 10q25 10q23.31 8p22 8p22 7q11.23 7p22 chromosome 
segments 19q12-q13.11 linked to prostate tumor aggressiveness
by use of the Gleason score as a quantitative trait. We have 
now completed finer-scale linkage mapping across this region 
that confirmed and narrowed the candidate region to 2 cM, 
with a peak between markers D19S875 and D19S433. We also 
performed allelic imbalance (AI) studies across this region 
in primary prostate tumors from 52 patients unselected for 
family history or disease status. A high level of AI was
observed, with the highest rates at markers D19S875 (56%) and 
D19S433 (60%). Furthermore, these two markers defined a
smallest common region of AI of 0.8 Mb, with 15 (29%)
prostate tumors displaying interstitial AI involving one or 
both markers. In addition, we noted a positive association 
between AI at marker D19S875 and extension of tumor beyond the
margin (P = 0.02) as well as a higher Gleason score (P = 0.06).
These data provide strong evidence that we have mapped a
prostate tumor aggressiveness locus to chromosome segments 
19q12-q13.11 that may play a role in both familial and 
non-familial forms of prostate cancer.
