Control samples were genotyped as part of the Cancer Genetic Markers of Susceptibility (CGEMS) prostate cancer scan, supported by the Intramural Research Program of the National Cancer Institute. The datasets used in this analysis were accessed with appropriate approval through the dbGaP online resource (http://www.cgems.cancer.gov/data_acess.html) through dbGaP accession number 000207v.1p1.c1. [National Cancer Institute (2009) CGEMS data website. http://cgems.cancer.gov/data_access.html; ref. 75]. Control samples were also genotyped as part of the GWAS of Lung Cancer and Smoking [76]. Funding for this work was provided through the NIH, Genes, Environment and Health Initiative [NIH GEI] (Z01 CP 010200). The human subjects participating in the GWAS are derived from the Prostate, Lung, Colon and Ovarian Screening Trial and the study is supported by intramural resources of the National Cancer Institute. Assistance with genotype cleaning, as well as with general study coordination, was provided by the Gene Environment Association Studies, GENEVA Coordinating Center (U01 HG004446). Assistance with data cleaning was provided by the National Center for Biotechnology Information. Funding support for genotyping, which was conducted at the Center for Inherited Disease Research, Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore, MD) was provided by the NIH GEI (U01 HG 004438).
