Abstract excerpt
Centromere protein-A (CENP-A), a histone-H3 variant, plays an essential role in cell division by ensuring proper formation and function of centromeres and kinetochores. Elevated CENP-A expression has been associated with cancer development. This study aimed to establish whether elevated CENP-A expression can be used as a prognostic and predictive cancer biomarker. Molecular profiling of CENP-A in human cancers...
