Global gene expression profile of proliferative verrucous leukoplakia and its underlying biological disease mechanisms

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (PVL) is a rare and enigmatic oral potentially malignant disorder which almost invariably results in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The aims of this project were to use transcriptome profiling to characterise PVL gene expression patterns for biomarker identification and gain insight into the molecular aetiopathogenesis of PVL. METHODS: Forty-three oral cavity...
