This study aimed to investigate the influence of three mesothelin (MSLN) gene variants (SNPs) in the 5′-untranslated promoter region (5′-UTR), MSLN rs2235503 C > A, rs3764246 A > G, rs3764247 A > C, and one (rs1057147 G > A) in the 3′-untranslated region (3′-UTR) of the MSLN gene on plasma concentrations of mesothelin in 410 asbestos-exposed males without cancer and 43 males with prediagnostic MM (i.e., with MM diagnosed later on) from the prospective MoMar study, as well as 59 males with manifest MM from Germany. The gene discussed is MSLN; the disease is cancer.
