Cаse Scenаriо: Reаd and respоnd tо the scenarios and prompts below.  The GWA Study graphic can be found at the bottom of the question. QUESTIONS: You have been given the responsibility of designing a case-control genome-wide association study at the University of Florida to identify the genetic variants associated with prostate cancer risk. List the variables/ inputs to be considered in the design of the GWA study.   Overall, African American men are 8 times more likely to be diagnosed with—and 2.2 times more likely to die from—prostate cancer than white men. African American men are also slightly more likely than white men to be diagnosed with metastatic disease. Shui et al (2014) identified SNPs associated with fatal prostate cancer across 8 cohort studies from Europe, US, and Australia. Describe how the limitation of African American participants in the study may impact the clinical validity and utility of future predictive genetic tests in the group.   Bensen et al (2013) attempted to determine if previously identified SNPs associated with overall prostate cancer risk were also associated with aggressive prostate cancer. What are the strengths and limitations when investigating candidate SNPs in the context of this study?   FORMAT: Response length will vary and is up to the learner to fully and completely answer the question to the best of their ability.   Supplementary data for Genetic Epidemiology.
