  • STK15 (STK6) gene polymorphism and methods of determining cancer risk
    Patent number: 6872533
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for determining cancer susceptibility in a human subject by identifying in a nucleic acid sample from the subject, a nucleotide occurrence of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the STK15 gene, including the STK15 Ile31 polymorphism. The invention provides isolated polynucleotides, polypeptides, specific binding pair members, and cells useful for identifying agents that affect tumor susceptibility. Furthermore, the invention provides methods for detecting low penetrance tumor susceptibility genes.
    Type: Grant
