Abstract excerpt
Prostate specific antigen (PSA) testing plays a major role in prostate cancer screening; however, the low positive predictive value of PSA testing leads to many unnecessary biopsies. Genetic background is one of factors that could cause it. That's why an association between genetic background and PSA levels should be elucidated. This study aimed to investigate whether DPP4 genetic variants are associated with...
