Abstract
The present invention relates to the field of cancer. More specifically, the present invention provides methods and compositions useful for assessing prostate cancer in a patient. In a specific embodiment, a method for predicting metastasis in a prostate cancer patient comprises the steps of (a) genotyping the ASPN D repeat domain length in both alleles of the patient using a polymerase chain reaction; (b) predicting metastasis in the patient if the ASPND repeat domain length is 13 in one allele and 14 in the other allele or have at least one allele with 14 D repeats as compared to other common allelic genotypes; and (c) predicting no metastasis in the patient if the ASPN D repeat domain length is 13 in both alleles as compared to other allelic genotypes.
