Abstract excerpt
Chitinase 3-like 1 (CHI3L1 or YKL40) is a secreted glycoprotein highly expressed in advanced stages of several cancer types, including prostate cancer (PCa). Impacts of genetic variants of CHI3L1 on PCa development have not yet been investigated. The most common well-studied genetic variations are single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Therefore, the objective of this study was to explore associations of CHI3L1...
