Abstract: | Prostate cancer, like numerous other cancers is a result of genetic alterations that accumulate during disease progression. Study of short tandem repeats (STRs) have already demonstrated that this type of polymorphism could provide a mean to rapidly scan genomes at known or unknown predisposing loci for some diseases. In this study, DNA samples of 282 unrelated males with prostate cancer and 101 apparently healthy and unrelated males were analysed with Argus X-8 (Biotype®) and 77 with a new X-Decaplex used in a collaborative study of GEP-ISFG. |
