## Abstract Decreased expression of high molecular weight isoforms of tropomyosin (Tm) is associated with oncogenic transformation and is evident in cancers, with isoform Tm1 seemingly an important tumor suppressor. Tm1 expression in prostate cancer has not previously been described. In this study,

## Abstract Identification of genes selectively expressed in tumors or individual tissues is a crucial prerequisite for molecular diagnosis and treatment of cancer by addressing molecular targets. By screening an expression database, we identified the novel gene __D__‐__PCa__‐__2__ (Dresden prostat
A recent genome wide association study (GWAS) indentified a significant association between rs2294008 (C > T) polymorphism in prostate stem-cell antigen (PSCA) and increased risk of gastric cancer in Japanese and Korean populations. The aim of this study was to determine whether rs2294008 polymorphi
## Abstract __NKX3.1__ is a homeobox gene, expression of which is largely restricted to the adult prostatic epithelium. Loss of NKX3.1 expression has been linked to prostate carcinogenesis and disease progression and occurs in the absence of mutations in the coding region of the __NKX3.1__ gene. In
The melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) gene is a major determinant of human pigmentation and specific allelic variants have been associated with red hair and sun sensitive skin types as well as increased skin cancer risk in Caucasian individuals. We screened for allelic variants the entire MC1R coding r
