Deletion of Interstitial Genes between TMPRSS2 and ERG Promotes Prostate Cancer Progression
15 Feb 2016
Abstract excerpt
TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusions that occur frequently in human prostate cancers can be generated either through insertional chromosomal rearrangement or by intrachromosomal deletion. Genetically, a key difference between these two mechanisms is that the latter results in deletion of a ∼3-Mb interstitial region containing genes with unexplored roles in prostate cancer. In this study, we characterized two mouse models...
