Zusammenfassung:The present disclosure provides methods for estimating cancer susceptibility, risk of developing multiple tumor sites, and the aggressiveness of prostate cancer. Disclosed are interactions among three polymorphisms: the Acid Phosphatase Locus-1 (ACP1) 228C>T (rs11553742) and 413A>G (Q106R, rs79716074) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and a SNP for the Astrocyte Elevated Gene-1 (AEG1) (rs2438211). Additionally interactions among these polymorphisms are disclosed to modify the underlying quantitative expression of major cancer-related genes, indicating that optimization of these gene products by pharmacologic or gene therapy interventions would be beneficial as a cancer therapy to reduce the risk of tumor metastasis, and would also be beneficial in preventing cancer.
