After correcting for multiple testing in the fixed‐effect meta‐analysis, no SNPs exceed the Nyholt threshold for association with a diagnosis of prostate cancer, whereas three SNPs in ALDH1A2 (in strong LD with each other, therefore representing one signal only) exceed the Nyholt threshold for association with prostate cancer‐specific survival. This evidence concerns the gene ALDH1A2 and prostate carcinoma.
