Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The relationship between polymorphisms in the hydroxysteroid (17-beta) dehydrogenase (HSD17B) family of genes, which are involved in steroid hormone biotransformation, and the risk of prostate cancer (PCa) progression remains unexplored. OBJECTIVE: Determine whether inherited variations in HSD17B genes are associated with PCa progression. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: We studied two independent...
