Although the distribution of MQs and average MQ estimates between prostate cancer (3.00±0.06) and BPH (3.04±0.04) patients did not differ significantly (Fig 2C), the relative transcript level of hMLH1 was shown to correlate inversely with MQ estimates in prostate cancer patients (r = -0.599; P value <0.05) only (Fig 2D). The gene discussed is MLH1; the disease is prostate carcinoma.
