TypeGene ModificationChromosome rearrangementProtein expressionProtein Function
tumoral fusion translocation    
Loss of PTEN and concomitant activation of AKTcould act in partnership with the TMPRSS2-ERG fusion protein to promote progression to prostatecancer
tumoral     --over  
overexpression in prostate tumor cells may contribute to the neoplastic process by activating MYC and by abrogating prostate epithelial differentiation as indicated by prostate epithelial specific markers
tumoral fusion      
NDRG1-ERG fusion in prostate carcinoma is predicted to encode a chimeric protein
tumoral fusion      
TMPRSS2:ERG gene fusion predicts subsequent detection of prostate cancer in patients with high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (P
tumoral     --over  
may deregulate several signaling cascades in acute leukemia
tumoral fusion      
TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusions were observed in 44p 100 of prostate cancer, and over 90p100 of these fusions occurred in ERG exons 3 or 4
