摘要:
It has been discovered that certain polymorphic markers on chromosome 6 and chromosome 11 are indicative of a susceptibility to prostate cancer and colon cancer. The invention describes diagnostic applications for determining a susceptibility to cancer using such markers, as well as kits for use in such applications.
摘要:
The present invention is characterised by certain genetic variants being susceptibility variants for prostate cancer. The invention relates to methods of determining increased susceptibility to prostate cancer, as well as methods of determining decreased susceptibility to prostate cancer, using such variants. The invention further relates to kits for determining a susceptibility to prostate cancer.
