Altered N-myc Downstream-Regulated Gene 1 Protein Expression in African-American Compared with Caucasian Prostate Cancer Patients
1 Jan 2004
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The protein encoded by N-myc downstream-regulated gene 1 (NDRG1) is a recently discovered protein whose transcription is induced by androgens and hypoxia. We hypothesized that NDRG1 expression patterns might reveal a biological basis for the disparity of clinical outcome of prostate cancer patients with different ethnic backgrounds. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Patients who underwent radical prostatectomy...
