  1. †Associations were determined using multivariate logistic regression models to estimate the risk of developing PCA using GSTP1 105 Ile/Ile, GSTM1 *1/*1 + *1/*0 and GSTT1 *1/*1 + *1/*0 as the Reference genotypes.
  2. ††Risk estimates adjusted for age (continuous variable); prostate specific antigen (continuous variable); and West African Ancestry, WAA or admixture (continuous variable).
  3. ‡Non-smokers are subjects that have never smoked; Ever-smokers are subjects that are current or former smokers
