Synonymous Polymorphisms in HOXB13 as a Protective Factor for Prostate Cancer
BACKGROUND Genomic association and linkage studies, as well as epidemiological data have implicated both the HOXB13 gene and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the development of prostate cancer (PCa). The recent association between the G84E polymorphism in the HOXB13 gene and PCa has been shown to result in a more aggressive cancer with an earlier onset of the disease. We examined the f...
متن کاملHOXB13 mutations and prostate cancer in Poland
Recently, HOXB13 has been established as a prostate cancer susceptibility gene in North America, with a relative risk associated with a single missense mutation of about 20. Ewing et al., sequenced over 200 genes in a prostate cancer linkage region at 17q21-22 among 94 probands of prostate cancer families, and found a recurrent mutation in the HOXB13 gene (G84E) in four families. The mutation c...
متن کاملHoxb13, a potential prognostic biomarker for prostate cancer.
HOXB13, a member of the homeobox proteins family, is a key regulator of the epithelial differentiation in the prostate gland. HOXB13 is overexpressed during malignant progression of the prostatic tissue and suspected to contribute in the pathogenesis of the prostate gland. In androgen deprived conditions, HOXB13 is thought to act through inhibition of the tumour suppressor protein p21. Since HO...
متن کاملHOXB13 and other high penetrant genes for prostate cancer
prostate cancer has been shown to increase prostate cancer risk whereby the risk is influenced by: (1) the number of affected family members, (2) first degree affected relatives compared to those who are more distantly related, (3) the presence of early onset cancers in a pedigree (typically men diagnosed at or before age 55).5,6 Despite this recognized familial component, identification of hig...
متن کاملDysregulation of the homeobox transcription factor gene HOXB13: role in prostate cancer
Prostate cancer (PC) is the most common noncutaneous cancer in men, and epidemiological studies suggest that about 40% of PC risk is heritable. Linkage analyses in hereditary PC families have identified multiple putative loci. However, until recently, identification of specific risk alleles has proven elusive. Cooney et al used linkage mapping and segregation analysis to identify a putative ris...
