Abstract
The global prevalence of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is increasing annually, with a notably higher incidence in Asian populations. This condition can increase the risk of developing prostate cancer 2- to 12-fold, underscoring the critical need for comprehensive clinical guidelines and appropriate risk stratification testing. This review is the first to address the gap by focusing on genetic screening for risk stratification in Asians, followed by the development of pathophysiology based on the genetic variants identified. For example, the CYP17 gene, which plays a crucial role in testosterone synthesis and BPH progression, includes the CYP17 rs743572 C allele, a genetic variant that increases the risk of BPH by 1.58 times in Asians. Identifying such genetic variants can enable the tailoring of therapies to individual genetic profiles. Furthermore, this review provides new insights into the pathophysiology of BPH, suggesting that ethnicity may play a role in its progression, and explores genetic links between BPH and other diseases traditionally considered risk factors for BPH.
期刊介绍:
The Official Journal of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC)
Clinica Chimica Acta is a high-quality journal which publishes original Research Communications in the field of clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, defined as the diagnostic application of chemistry, biochemistry, immunochemistry, biochemical aspects of hematology, toxicology, and molecular biology to the study of human disease in body fluids and cells.
The objective of the journal is to publish novel information leading to a better understanding of biological mechanisms of human diseases, their prevention, diagnosis, and patient management. Reports of an applied clinical character are also welcome. Papers concerned with normal metabolic processes or with constituents of normal cells or body fluids, such as reports of experimental or clinical studies in animals, are only considered when they are clearly and directly relevant to human disease. Evaluation of commercial products have a low priority for publication, unless they are novel or represent a technological breakthrough. Studies dealing with effects of drugs and natural products and studies dealing with the redox status in various diseases are not within the journal''s scope. Development and evaluation of novel analytical methodologies where applicable to diagnostic clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, including point-of-care testing, and topics on laboratory management and informatics will also be considered. Studies focused on emerging diagnostic technologies and (big) data analysis procedures including digitalization, mobile Health, and artificial Intelligence applied to Laboratory Medicine are also of interest.
