## Background: Trka, the high affinity, tyrosine kinase receptor for nerve growth factor (ngf) has been implicated as an oncogene in several neoplasms. in prostate cancer, inhibitors of the ngf/trka signal pathway results in tumor growth inhibition. in contrast, inhibition of this trk pathway in th

BACKGROUND. p53 is the most highly mutated tumor suppressor gene in human cancers. Recently, p73, a first homologue of p53, was identified and considered to be an imprinted tumor suppressor gene. Thus, we analyzed the possible role of p73 in human prostate cancers. METHODS. We investigated the expre
The MSR1 gene at 8p22 has been suggested as a candidate gene for hereditary prostate cancer because germline variants have been found to be associated with the disease. Aside from a single nonsense mutation (R293X) that was found repeatedly at low frequencies in several samples, little evidence has
