Mutations in the gene BTNL2 increase the risk of developing prostate cancer, according to a team of researchers led by Janet Stanford, Ph.D, of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. BTNL2 encodes a protein involved in regulating T-cell proliferation and cytokine production; both of which impact immune function. The findings, by Stanford and colleagues from the University of Washington Genome Sciences Department and the National Human Genome Research Institute, ...Sunday, 1 September 2013
Susceptibility to Prostate Cancer Increased by Mutations in a Gene That Impacts Immune Function
Mutations in the gene BTNL2 increase the risk of developing prostate cancer, according to a team of researchers led by Janet Stanford, Ph.D, of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. BTNL2 encodes a protein involved in regulating T-cell proliferation and cytokine production; both of which impact immune function.
