Abstract
The invention provides a method for diagnosing or predicting susceptibility to a prostate neoplastic condition in an individual. The method involves (a) determining a level of RDC1 in a sample from the individual, and (b) comparing the level of RDC1 in the sample to a reference level of RDC1, wherein a level of RDC1 in the sample 2-fold or more higher than the reference level indicates the presence of, or susceptibility to, a prostate neoplastic condition in the individual.
