What is deCODE ProstateCancer ?
deCODE ProstateCancer is a reference laboratory DNA test for assessing an inherited risk factors for prostate cancer, a major cancer affecting males worldwide. The test detects versions of markers called SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) a one letter variation in the sequence of the genome, more specifically on chromosome 2, 8, 11, 17 and the X chromosome – that deCODE and others have linked to an increased risk for prostate cancer. Based on these 8 known gene markers, the test can define risks in Europeans of European ancestry ranging from 0.33 to 17 compared to that of the general population.
