Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: TMPRSS2, a transmembrane serine protease and common partner in oncogenic TMPRSS2-ERG fusions, is regulated by androgen receptors and is implicated in prostate tumorigenesis. The nonsynonymous SNP rs12329760 (C > T; Val160Met) has been hypothesized to alter TMPRSS2 proteolytic activity, potentially enhancing AR signaling and contributing to aggressive tumor behavior. However, data on this variant in...
