Sequence variants of elaC homolog 2 (Escherichia coli) (ELAC2) gene and susceptibility to prostate cancer in the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study.

Carcinogenesis - 1 May 2008

Abstract excerpt

Two non-synonymous single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), Ser217Leu and Ala541Thr, in the elaC homolog 2 (Escherichia coli) (ELAC2) gene have been related to prostate cancer risk in previous studies, though with inconsistent results. The association of ELAC2 haplotypes with prostate cancer risk has not yet been explored. We assessed whether sequence variants in ELAC2 were associated with the risk of total or...
