The most recent disease risk model uses 3 variants that were not measured in your genetic scan and therefore the results presented here may not be as accurate as possible. See the table in scientific details for further information.

Recent changes:
Dec 23 2011, 11:40 AM Added two variants for Europeans, three variants for East Asians and one for African Americans
Mar 28 2011, 09:10 AM Added two risk variants for Europeans, 7 risk variants for African Americans and created a risk model for East Asians including 12 variants

According to the selected literature, the relative genetic risk calculated from your genotype for males of European ancestry is 1.02. This corresponds to a 16.3% lifetime risk of developing prostate cancer, which is 2% greater than for males of European ancestry in general (source) . Note that these calculations may not include all risk factors.
The lifetime risk of your type
It is estimated that 16 of every 100 males of European ancestry with your genotype variants develop this disease in their lifetime.

The average lifetime risk
On average, about 16 of every 100 males of European ancestry develop this disease in their lifetime.
