Abstract excerpt
The proximal promoter of the kallikrein-related peptidase 3 gene (KLK3/PSA) contains a single-nucleotide polymorphism (G-158A) located within the second canonical half-site for the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) androgen response element 1 (AREI). Previous studies suggest that this polymorphism may be associated with higher PSA levels and increase prostate cancer risk. We have investigated the potential...
