Analysis of the functional consequences of a single nucleotide polymorphisms in CYP3A4 gene to prostate cancer in men of African ancestry.
Prostate cancer (CaP) is the leading cause of cancer death among black men and its pathogenesis is linked to testosterone metabolism. CYP3A4 deactivates testosterone and the polymorphisms of its gene are known to alter testosterone metabolism. In this study, computational techniques were used to investigate effects of non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) in the CYP3A4 in...
