High Expression of the ETS Transcription Factor <i>ERG</i> Predicts Adverse Outcome in Acute T-Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Adults
6 Sept 2006
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: In adult T-lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) disease-free survival remains limited to 32% to 46%. The adverse prognosis in T-ALL has not been attributed to cytogenetic or molecular aberrations. We have determined the prognostic impact of the oncogenic transcription factor ERG in T-ALL. PATIENTS AND METHODS: ERG expression was analyzed by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 105 adults with newly...
