Recurrent Fusion of <i>TMPRSS2</i> and ETS Transcription Factor Genes in Prostate Cancer
27 Oct 2005
Abstract excerpt
Recurrent chromosomal rearrangements have not been well characterized in common carcinomas. We used a bioinformatics approach to discover candidate oncogenic chromosomal aberrations on the basis of outlier gene expression. Two ETS transcription factors, ERG and ETV1, were identified as outliers in prostate cancer. We identified recurrent gene fusions of the 5' untranslated region of TMPRSS2 to ERG or ETV1 in...
