GENOMIC SEQUENCE OF THE PURH GENE AND PURH-RELATED BIALLELIC MARKERS

摘要

The invention concerns the genomic sequence of the PURH gene. The invention also concerns biallelic markers of a PURH gene and the association established between these markers and cancer, particularly prostate cancer. The invention provides means to determine the predisposition of individuals to cancer as well as means for the diagnosis of cancer and for the prognosis/detection of an eventual treatment response to agents acting on cancer.
