On the basis of a genomewide search involving 47 French and German families with multiple cases of prostate cancer, Berthon et al.(1998) reported linkage to chromosomal region 1q42. 2-43 (multipoint nonparametric Z score of 3.1, at marker D1S2785). P. 001 This finding is interesting because, although D1S2785 is considerably distal to the region 1q24-25—identified by Smith et al.(1996) as containing the putative hereditary prostate cancer locus HPC1—it is only 14 cM away from the marker D1S235, which also produced an elevated Z score in the scan by Smith et al. In an attempt to confirm the finding by Berthon et al., we have evaluated linkage to three markers in the 1q42. 2-43 region in 97 unrelated families containing three or more medically verified diagnoses of prostate cancer in first-or second-degree relatives. Eighty-two of these families fulfilled one or more of the proposed criteria for families whose prostate cancer is likely to be hereditary (ie, three or more affected individuals within one nuclear family, affected individuals in three successive generations, and/or two or more individuals affected at age! 55 years). Seven families were African American, four were Japanese American, and three were Chinese American. The families were identified from several sources, described by Hsieh et al.(1997). The mean number, per family, of affected and genotyped individuals was 2.6 (range 2–5), and the mean age at diagnosis of all affected individuals was 66.9 years (67.0 years in white families, 64.1 years in African American families, 69.2 years in Asian American families). The overall number of genotyped affected individuals and the overall mean age at diagnosis are similar to those found for the families reported by Berthon et al.(1998). A total of 382 samples were genotyped for the three markers. Genotyping was performed by the NHLBI (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute) Mammalian Genotyping Service at the Marshfield Medical Foundation (Yuan et al. 1997), by use of an ABI 377 sequencer to read fluorescently labeled primers for PCR products. We retyped individuals with ambiguous or missing genotypes and also retyped one or more relatives of each such individual to insure interlaboratory comparability. All samples were typed without knowledge of disease status. Parametric LOD scores, nonparametric Z scores, and one-tailed P values were obtained with the software GENEHUNTER (Kruglyak et al. 1996). For the parametric analyses, we assumed an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance of a disease-susceptibility allele with frequency. 003 and with penetrances as estimated in the segregation analysis by Carter et al.(1992). For the multipoint analyses, the three markers were assumed to be in the order shown in table 1. We estimated allele frequencies for the three markers in family founders, using the software FASTLINK (Cottingham et al. 1993; Schaffer et al. 1994).
