Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To understand the relationship between the -202 A/C single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 3 (IGFBP3) gene, IGFBP3 serum levels, and risk of prostate cancer (PCa) in a Korean population, as a potential reason for the lower incidence of PCa in the Korean population. METHODS: The IGFBP3 levels were measured and the -202 A/C SNP of the IGFBP3 gene was typed...
