Germline Mutations in HOXB13 and Prostate-Cancer Risk
11 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Family history is a significant risk factor for prostate cancer, although the molecular basis for this association is poorly understood. Linkage studies have implicated chromosome 17q21-22 as a possible location of a prostate-cancer susceptibility gene. METHODS: We screened more than 200 genes in the 17q21-22 region by sequencing germline DNA from 94 unrelated patients with prostate cancer from...
