Prostate-specific transcript 1 (non-protein coding), also known as PCGEM1, is a long non-coding RNAgene. In humans, it is located on chromosome 2q32. It is over-expressed in prostate cancer.[3][4] In a study of prostate tumours from 88 men, levels of PCGEM1 were found to be higher in prostate cancer cells in African-American men than in Caucasian-American men. The mortality rate of prostate cancer is highest in African-American men.[5]
