Abstract:
Genetic epidemiology studies have suggested the responsibility of genetic factors in prostate cancer susceptibility. The development of genomic and high throughput genetic studies has allowed the recent identification or localization of such susceptibility genes. Furthermore, these technologies have contributed to outstanding advances in somatic genetics of prostate cancer. The goal of the present review is to disclose contributing technologies to and results of genetic studies of prostate cancer.

Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
