Scientists discover DNA regions influencing prostate cancer risk | Science News SciGuru.com

sciguru.com — “With the seven newly discovered single nucleotide polymorphisms, scientists are now able to explain about 25% of familial cancer risk. The exact DNA variants that contribute to prostate cancer risk have now been published by an international research consortium with participation of scientists from the German Cancer Research Center. In a multi-stage study, the collaborators systematically searched the whole genome of cancer patients and healthy controls for specific gene variants. Then they calcView full resource at sciguru.com

deCODE discovers genetic markers that improve the power of PSA testing for detecting prostate cancer

eurekalert.org — “Scientists from deCODE genetics and academic colleagues today report the discovery of a set of single-letter variations in the sequence of the human genome (SNPs) that impact individual baseline levels of prostate specific antigen, or PSA. The analysis of four SNPs can be used to derive a personalized PSA threshold that more accurately identifies those men who are more likely to have a positive biopsy and for whom one should therefore be recommended.View full resource at eurekalert.org
