Abstract
⺠Testicular germ cell cancer (TGCC) has a significant, multi-genetic component. ⺠We aim to identify additional risk alleles associated with TGCC. ⺠SNPs in ESR1, ESR2, and LHCGR associate with features of TGCC. ⺠SNPs in ESR1 and LHCGR are predictors of hormone levels in healthy subjects. ⺠Genetic polymorphisms in ESR1, ESR2 and LHCGR contribute to the aetiology of TGCC.
