TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a bioinformatics approach to discover candidate oncogenic chromosomal aberrations on the basis of outlier gene expression and identified recurrent gene fusions of the 5' untranslated region of TMPRSS2 to ERG or ETV1.

TL;DR: This cohort study provides clinically actionable information that could impact treatment decisions for affected individuals and identified new genomic alterations in PIK3CA/B, R-spondin, BRAF/RAF1, APC, β-catenin, and ZBTB16/PLZF.
Journal ArticleDOI
The polycomb group protein EZH2 is involved in progression of prostate cancer
Sooryanarayana Varambally,Saravana M. Dhanasekaran,Ming Zhou,Terrence R. Barrette,Chandan Kumar-Sinha,Martin G. Sanda,Debashis Ghosh,Kenneth J. Pienta,Richard George Antonius Bernardus Sewalt,Arie P. Otte,Mark A. Rubin,Arul M. Chinnaiyan +11 more
TL;DR: Dysregulated expression of EZH2 may be involved in the progression of prostate cancer, as well as being a marker that distinguishes indolent prostate cancer from those at risk of lethal progression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recurrent Fusion of TMPRSS2 and ETS Transcription Factor Genes in Prostate Cancer

TL;DR: Cell line experiments suggest that the androgen-responsive promoter elements of TMPRSS2 mediate the overexpression of ETS family members in prostate cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The mutational landscape of a heavily treated metastatic cancer is described, novel mechanisms of AR signalling deregulated in prostate cancer are identified, and candidates for future study are prioritize.
