Therefore, our finding, that patients under age 70 carrying the I1307K allele are significantly thinner than those carrying the wild type allele, suggests that the APC I1307K allele is also a prostate cancer risk factor.
Our findings of increased serum t3 level with the APC I1307K allele in prostate cancer patients is not surprising, given the mitogenic potential of t3.

Additional, cDNA array and in silico analyses of prostate cancer tissue suggested that rs2707765 affects <i>APC</i> expression, which in turn is correlated with tumor aggressiveness and patient prognosis.
Four tSNPs (rs3846716, rs2431238, rs41115, and rs565453) and a specific haplotype (GTAAGA) in the APC tumor suppressor gene were associated with a 0.57- to 0.71-fold lower risk of localized PCa.
