Distribution of Duffy Antigen Receptor for Chemokines (DARC) and Risk of Prostate Cancer in Barbados, West Indies.

Journal of immigrant and minority health - 1 Jun 2015

Abstract excerpt

Blood typing across different racial groups has revealed that Caucasians predominantly test positive for the Duffy antigen/receptor for chemokines (DARC), while 70-95% of African-origin populations lack expression of DARC on their erythrocytes. Since men of African descent are known to have higher rates of prostate cancer (PC) and some animal studies have indicated anti-angiogenic effects associated with...
