Delineation of <i>TMPRSS2-ERG</i> Splice Variants in Prostate Cancer
1 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The expression of the ETS-related gene (ERG) is low or undetectable in benign prostate epithelial cells. High prevalence of ERG overexpression in prostate cancer cells due to TMPRSS2-ERG fusions suggest for causal roles of ERG protein in the neoplastic process. TMPRSS2-ERG fusion junctions have been extensively studied in prostate cancer. However, virtually nothing is known about the nature of...
