  1. Clinical prostate cancer patients (n = 391) were compared with residence-matched male autopsy cases without malignancy (n = 323).
  2. Genotype data were not available for 4 and 5 patients respectively.
  3. OR odds ratio, CI confidence interval.
  4. aApplied by including the number of T-alleles (0,1,2) as a continuous variable in the logistic regression model.
