Argonne Uncovers Insights About Prostate Cancer Risk and Genetic Ancestry
A recent study involving scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has uncovered insights into the prostate cancer risks of people from a variety of genetic ancestries.

- Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed non-skin cancer globally, and as such, it is a problem that affects the entire human population.
- To understand the likelihood of an individual or population developing prostate cancer, researchers create what is known as a Genetic Risk Score (GRS).
- This work was centered around a desire to understand the genetic makeup that increases risks for diseases like prostate cancer.
