Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: An association of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the KLK2 gene (rs198977; c.748C>T; R250W) with risk for developing prostate cancer has been observed. We evaluated the role of R250W SNP for prognosis in prostate cancer. METHODS: The c.748C>T SNP was genotyped from blood DNA of 182 patients after completing initial cancer treatments. For evaluating prognosis of genotype groups, associations...
