Biomarker | Serum PSA + DRE + Methylation Status of RARB |
Biomarker Basis | Methylation Based |
Biomolecule | mRNA |
Source | Expressed Prostatic Secretion |
Subjects | Humans |
Regulation | Hypermethylated in Prostate Cancer |
Odds Ratio/Hazard Ratio/Relative Risk | OR = 2.064 (95% CI: 1.030–6.551) |
Effect on Pathways | Pathways Include:-Non-small cell lung cancer,Vitamin A and carotenoid metabolism,Nuclear receptor transcription pathway,Nuclear receptors,Small cell lung cancer |
Experiment | Benign vs. PCA |
Type of Biomarker | Diagnostic |
Cohort | Of the 74 specimen cohort, only the 63 that yielded >300 ng total nucleic acid were used for DNA methylation analysis.Out of which 33 had Benign tumors and 30 had PCA. |
Senstivity | NA |
Specificity | NA |
AUC | 0.705 (95% CI: 0.576–0.835) |
Accuracy | NA |
Level Of Significance | p<0.06 |
Method Used | methylation-sensitive TaqMan QPCR |
Clinical | No |
Remarks | For Analysis, Serum PSA, plus Digital rectal Exam plus a marker was chosen for analysis and compared to whether they improved performance over analysis done by only Serum PSA + DRE |
