Quantitation of Aurora Kinase A Gene Copy Number in Urine Sediments and Bladder Cancer Detection
24 Sept 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Chromosome missegregation and the resulting aneuploidy is a common change in neoplasia. The Aurora kinase A (AURKA) gene, which encodes a key regulator of mitosis, is frequently amplified and/or overexpressed in cancer cells, and the level of AURKA amplification is associated with the level of aneuploidy. We examined whether AURKA gene amplification is a biomarker for the detection of bladder cancer....
