Aneuploidy of glandular epithelial cells in histologically normal prostate glands

Abstract
The percentage of aneuploidy in normal prostate glands from subjects 13–38 years old and 45–66 years old ranged from 0–78% and 0–63%, respectively. In contrast to adults, aneuploidy was absent in fetal and postnatal prostates. It is concluded that aneuploidy is a fundamental attribute of histologically normal adult prostate glands.
