Recent studies suggest that hereditary prostate cancer is a complex disease involving multiple susceptibility genes and variable phenotypic expression, While conducting a genomewide search on 162 North American families with greater than or equal to 3 members affected with prostate cancer (PRCA), we found evidence for linkage to chromosome 20q13 with two-point parametric LOD scores >1 at multiple sites, with the highest two-point LOD score of 2.69 for marker D20S196. The maximum multipoint NPL score for the entire data set was 3.02 (P =.002) at D20S887, On the basis of findings from previous reports, families were stratified by the presence (n = 116) or absence (n = 46) of male-to-male transmission, average age of diagnosis (
