Genetic Predisposition to Prostate Cancer: The Contribution of the HPCX locus and TGFB1 gene
There is a significant genetic component to prostate cancer (PrCa) risk. Multiple epidemiologic and linkage studies suggest X-linked heritability. Located at chromosome Xq27-28, HPCX has been identified as a PrCa susceptibility locus in multiple independent studies. We hypothesized that HPCX harbors...
