Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: A C825T polymorphism in the GNB3 gene encodes the Gβ3 subunit of heterotrimeric G proteins. Due to increased G protein activation the GNB3 825T allele, a truncated form of the G3 protein, is associated with enhanced signal transduction capacity. This splice variant is associated with various malignant diseases. We investigated the possible association of GNB3 gene polymorphism with prostate cancer and...
