Quantitative Analysis of ERG Expression and Its Splice Isoforms in Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded Prostate Cancer Samples
19 Sept 2014
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The proto-oncogene ETS-related gene (ERG) is consistently overexpressed in prostate cancer. Alternatively spliced isoforms of ERG have variable biological activities; inclusion of exon 11 (72 base pairs [bp]) is associated with aggressiveness and progression of disease. Exon 10 (81 bp) has also been shown to be alternatively spliced. Within this study, we assess whether ERG protein, messenger RNA...
