Scientists are working to develop a test for prostate cancer after discovering 7 genetic markers linked to prostate cancer, each of which raised the risk by 60%.
Two of those genes are called MSMB and LMTK2.
10,000 British men die from the disease every year.
HNF1B and PTEN possibly connected to prostate cancer.
Genes that are linked to slow aceylation like versions of NAT-2 have been linked to prostate cancer.
In 50% of cases,a fusion of the TMPRSS2 and erg genes is found.
