METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR PREDICTING PROSTATE CANCER

摘要

Disclosed are compositions and methods for assessing risk in a subject for prostate cancer in a human subject comprising determining the length of the contiguous CAG or CAA repeats in both AIB1 gene alleles of the subject and assessing whether the length of the CAG or CAA repeats is less than, equal to, or greater than 29 repeats, a length less than or greater than 29 repeats in both alleles indicating an increased risk of prostate-cancer in the subject.
