Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the influence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) on transcription of the 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (HSD17B7) gene. METHODS: Luciferase reporter genes containing a 5'-flanking of the HSD17B7 gene, as well as the sequence around the SNP, were transfected into LNCaP and DU145 cells. Then, luciferase assays were carried out. RESULTS: The presence of the G allele resulted in...
