ABSTRACT:
Methods for assessing a patient's predisposition for developing prostate cancer are disclosed. PCR assays using primers for apolipoprotein E (ApoE) genotypes and primers for known prostate cancer molecular markers such as PSA are applied to biological samples. ApoE4/E4 homozygosity coupled with elevated PSA or other prostate cancer marker levels in the blood, indicate the likelihood that prostate cancer is present.
