Prognostic Value of CD1B in Localised Prostate Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Cluster of differentiation (CD) antigens are cell surface markers used to differentiate haematopoietic cell types. These antigens are present in various malignancies and are reportedly linked to patient prognosis; however, they have not been implemented as prostate cancer progression markers. Here, we aimed to assess the impact of genetic variation in haematopoietic cell CD markers on clinical outcomes in patients with prostate cancer. An association study of 458 patients with prostate cancer was conducted to identify single-nucleotide polymorphisms in 11 candidate CD marker genes associated with biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy. Identified predictors were further evaluated in an additional cohort of 185 patients. Joint population analyses showed that CD1B rs
