Loss of SLC45A3 protein (prostein) expression in prostate cancer is associated with <i>SLC45A3‐ERG</i> gene rearrangement and an unfavorable clinical course
23 Jul 2012
Abstract excerpt
The majority of prostate cancer harbors recurrent gene fusions involving ETS transcription factors, most commonly ERG. The second most common 5' fusion partner after TMPRSS2 is SLC45A3. The aim of our study was to quantify the protein expression of ERG, TMPRSS2 and SLC45A3 in prostate cancer to assess for diagnostic or prognostic utility. Six hundred and forty consecutive prostate cancer cases in tissue...
