8q24 is a genomic region that has recently been found to have a highly significant association with prostate cancer risk. 8q24 is a gene desert, and the molecular mechanisms by which it might increase cancer risk are unclear.
← all excerpts
An enhancer from the 8q24 prostate cancer risk region is sufficient to direct reporter gene expression to a subset of prostate stem-like epithelial cells in transgenic mice.
