ASP85TYR POLYMORPHISM IN THE UDP-GLUCURONOSYLTRANSFERASE (UGT) 2B15 GENE AND THE RISK OF PROSTATE CANCER
3 May 2004
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: An amino acid changing polymorphism in the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 2B15 gene has been described at codon 85 (aspartate>tyrosine). The UGT2B15 allele exhibits 2-fold decreased activity for dihydrotestosterone, which was suggested to be associated with the risk of prostate cancer based on in vitro functional analysis. We determined whether this polymorphism can be used to predict individual...
