The genetic contribution to prostate cancer (PC) onset and clinical heterogeneity has an important impact on the disease stratification accuracy. Despite the fact that radical prostatectomy (RP) is an effective treatment for localized PC, a considerable number of individuals develop biochemical recurrence (BCR) following surgery. In the present study, we decided to investigate the significance of genetic variability in a homogeneous group of Romanian men and to determine if genotyping could provide information regarding the possible implications of rs4054823 susceptibility loci in PC progression and outcome. A total of 78 samples from both PC and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients were genotyped. The genotype frequencies were examined to see if there was a link between the 17p12 SNP and PC disease. When compared to the BPH group, the PC group had a significantly higher frequency of the T risk variant ( P  = 0.0056) and TT genotype ( P  = 0.0164). Subsequent analysis revealed that the TT genotype had a significantly higher frequency among younger PC patients based on their age at diagnosis and that it was related with a greater probability of BCR ( P  = 0.02). According to our findings, the TT genotype appears to be a risk factor for early-onset PC and a potential predictor for BCR after RP.
