Alternative Splicing Variant of Kallikrein-Related Peptidase 8 as an Independent Predictor of Unfavorable Prognosis in Lung Cancer
2 Apr 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A relatively unexplored area for biomarker identification is alternative splice variants. We undertook this study to evaluate the usefulness of mRNA isoforms encoded by the KLK8 (kallikrein-related peptidase 8) gene as prognostic markers for lung cancer. METHODS: Real-time reverse-transcription PCR was used to analyze the mRNAs encoded by KLK8 (particularly 2 mRNA splice variants, KLK8-T3 and KLK8-T4)...
