Patent abstract
The lifetime probability of a person developing cancer can now be determined based on an allelic variation found in the 3′UTR of the prohibitin gene. The probability is dependent on the sequence of the 3′UTR at position 729, i.e., whether there is a thymine (T) or a cytosine (C) or both at this position. Determining the sequence at the position 729 can be done by any number of standard techniques. Preferably, the sequence is determined by amplifying this region by PCR and subjecting it to an RFLP analysis.
