Overexpression of Prostate-Specific <i>TMPRSS2(exon 0)-ERG</i> Fusion Transcripts Corresponds with Favorable Prognosis of Prostate Cancer
14 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To gain insight in the mechanism and clinical relevance of TMPRSS2-ERG expression in prostate cancer, we determined the specific characteristics of fusion transcripts starting at TMPRSS2 exon 1 and at a more upstream and less characterized exon 0. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We used quantitative PCR analysis to investigate expression of wild-type TMPRSS2(exon 0) and TMPRSS2(exon 1) and of ERG fusion...
