Seven independent signals (rs1914295, rs1487240, rs77541621, rs72725879, rs5013678, rs183373024, rs78511380) and variants correlated at r2 > 0.9 with these signals (Supplementary Data 2) are located within or near a number of prostate cancer–associated long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), including PRNCR1, PCAT1, and CCAT2, previously reported to be upregulated in human PCa cells18 and tissues19,20. This evidence concerns the gene PCAT1 and prostate carcinoma.
