Suggests that APE1 rs1760944 polymorphisms might be a protective factor of PCa, The combined ORs and 95% CIs were as follows: Additive model (ORs 0.62, 95%, CI [0.39, 0.97]) (Fig. 2); Codominant model (ORs 0.74, 95% CI [0.58, 0.95]) (Fig. 3); Dominant model (ORs 0.75, 95%, CI [0.59, 0.95]) (Fig. 4); Recessive model (ORs 0.63, 95% CI [0.41, 0.96]) (Fig. 5); Allele model (ORs 0.78, 95% CI [0.65, 0.94]) (Fig. 6). Here, APEX1 is linked to posterior cortical atrophy.
