Carcinoma of the prostate: inherited susceptibility, somatic gene defects and androgen receptors.

Abstract excerpt

Multiple factors contribute to the development of prostate carcinoma (PCa) and to its progression to an androgen-independent state. In addition to the expected role of androgens and their receptors in facilitating the development of PCa, mutations in a growing number of candidate hereditary prostate cancer loci and genes, such as RNASEL and MSR1, have been detected, suggesting that defects in critical pathways...
