The goal of the study was to investigate possible association of some single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the VDR gene (the FokI, BsmI, ApaI and TaqαI loci), and the CYP17 gene (the MspA1I locus), and 0 or 9 TA repeats in the SRD5A2 gene, and prostate cancer (PCa) among Lebanese men. The gene discussed is CYP17A1; the disease is posterior cortical atrophy.
