Abstract:
1. A method for diagnosing the presence of prostate cancer in a patient comprising: (a) determining levels of polynucleotide comprising SEQ ID NO: 3, native protein expressed by the gene comprising polynucleotide comprising SEQ ID NO: 3, or native mRNA encoded by the gene comprising polynucleotide comprising SEQ ID NO: 3 in cells, tissues or bodily fluids in a patient; and (b) comparing the determined levels of polynucleotide comprising SEQ ID NO: 3, native protein expressed by the gene comprising polynucleotide comprising SEQ ID NO: 3, or native mRNA encoded by the gene comprising polynucleotide comprising SEQ ID NO: 3, with levels of polynucleotide comprising SEQ ID NO: 3, native protein expressed by the gene comprising polynucleotide comprising SEQ ID NO: 3, or native mRNA encoded by the gene comprising polynucleotide comprising SEQ ID NO: 3 in cells, tissues or bodily fluids from a normal human control, wherein a change in determined levels of polynucleotide comprising SEQ ID NO: 3, native protein expressed by the gene comprising polynucleotide comprising SEQ ID NO: 3, or native mRNA encoded by the gene comprising polynucleotide comprising SEQ ID NO: 3 in said patient versus normal human control is associated with the presence of prostate cancer.
