In a comprehensive multi-ancestry GWAS meta-analysis, researchers identified 451 risk variants for prostate cancer, including 187 new variants, demonstrating the utility of such studies across diverse populations. This analysis not only increased understanding of genetic risk factors but also differentiated between aggressive and non-aggressive prostate cancer types, underscoring the potential of genetic risk scoring in guiding screening and early detection strategies.
