The Weight of HLA-DPA1 rs3077 Single Nucleotide Polymorphism in Prostate Cancer, a Multicenter Study.

ABSTRACT: Prostate cancer (PCa) has almost the highest genetic transmission that mimics an autosomal dominance hereditary pattern of cancers in some families. Its incidence in Arab countries was reported to be steadily increasing. Aim. To determine the relevance of HLA-DPA1 rs3077 (A/G) SNP with prostate cancer's risk and/or severity. Subjects and Methods. Forty PCa patients and forty age matched patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), as a control group, were enrolled in the study. Serum levels of urea, creatinine, total prostate-specific antigen (PSA), and free PSA were measured. PSA ratio was determined as well. Genotyping of HLA-DPA1 rs3077 (A/G) SNP was done using real-time PCR. Results. The measured lab parameters, except free PSA, were significantly higher among
