Dyskerin Overexpression in Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma Is Associated with Advanced Clinical Stage and Poor Patient Prognosis
13 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Dyskerin (encoded by the DKC1 gene) is an essential nucleolar protein involved in cell proliferation, where it is required for the pseudo-uridylation of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecules and the stabilization of the telomerase RNA component. Dyskerin expression has been reported to predict poor survival in some cancer patients. The aim of the present study was to analyze the expression of dyskerin in...
