TEST FOR P27 PROTEIN ?

  How would I go about testing for a normal amount of the protein
  called p27 recently mentioned as a possible cause of BPH when this protein is disabled or lost ??

Dear James,
Protein p27 is an inhibitor of the cell cycle with potential tumor suppressor function.  This means that the cells affected could reproduce more often.  Decreased levels of p27 have been shown to correlate with poor outcomes in colon and breast cancer.  Recently a study in the Journal of Urology out of UCLA did show a correlation between outcome and levels of p27 however this is not a widely available test.  Also it ability to predict prognosis was best in stage T2 and T3 patients.  First I would not worry about this test in regards to BPH.  Secondly. this is a pathological test which requires that a biopsy is taken  is obviously  experimental.
I don
