Correlation of ERG Expression and DNA Methylation Biomarkers with Adverse Clinicopathologic Features of Prostate Cancer
27 Mar 2012
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Fusion of the TMPRSS2 gene with the ERG oncogene and aberrant DNA methylation patterns are commonly found in prostate cancer. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between ERG expression, DNA methylation of three biomarkers, and clinicopathologic features of prostate cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Immunohistochemistry for ERG protein was conducted as a surrogate for TMPRSS2-ERG fusions. We...
