| Research Abstract |
We analyzed the genomic DNA using genomewide homozyosity haplotype analysis to identify the susceptibility gene for familial/hereditary prostate cancer. Through previous studies and the present study, we found the significant association of prostate cancer risk with the gene encoding squalene synthase, i.e., farnesyldiphosphate farnesyltrasfrerase (FDFT1). The AA+AG genotypes of SNP in the promoter region, rs2645429 was found significantly in patients with cases. Functional analysis of FDFT1 showed the elevation of promoter activity in the A type promoter, and that the squalene synthase has close relations to prostate cancer growth.
