## Abstract The __HPC2__/__ELAC2__ gene may be associated with hereditary/familial prostate cancer (PCa). Two common missense variants (Ser217Leu and Ala541Thr) have been reported in the gene. We performed mutational, allelotyping and expression analyses and a molecular epidemiological study to cla

## Abstract Three putative prostate cancerβsusceptibility genes, __RNASEL/HPC1__ at 1q24, __MSR1__ at 8p22, and __ELAC2/HPC2__ at 17p11, have recently been identified. Our objective was to investigate somatic mutations in these genes in sporadic prostate cancer. We analyzed 39 clinical prostate can
## Abstract ## Background The results from the published studies on the association of fatty acidβbinding protein 2 (FABP2) Ala54Thr polymorphism with insulin resistance and blood glucose are conflicting. In this metaβanalysis, we investigated the association of the FABP2 Ala54Thr polymorphism wit
