Abstract
J. C. Huber
"Genetic prevention of breast and prostatic cancer"

Single nucleotide polymorphism diagnostic becomes more and more important for the clinical practice. Metaanalysis indicate, that the polymorphic gen constructer of the CYP 19 gen is associated with a high incidence of breast cancer . Aromatise activity can be suppressed by pharmacological drugs but also by phytosteroids and by life style recommendations. Therefore the knowledge of this genotype becomes important for prevention. The same is true for the polymorphism in the androgen receptor gen. Prospective studies are available showing that the genotype with allow androgen activity is associated with a higher risk also for breast cancer. 
For prevention of prostatic cancer five difference in nucleotide polymorphism are investigated and are associated with a higher risk for this endocrine related cancer. Preventive oncology is an important aspect of molecular medicine and the knowledge of single nucleotide polymorphism is important in this new area of medicine.
