QLT announces completion of Phase Ia safety trial of its synthetic retinoid product
...on of QLT091001 showed evidence of having corrected the biochemical defect in the retinoid cycle in light-sensing cells (rods) and appeared to restore erg responses to light in both models of LCA. About Leber's Congenital Amaurosis LCA is an inherited degenerative retinal disease characterized ...Tests Might Diagnose, Predict Prostate Cancer
...am developed a urine test that can identify particular gene fusions associated with prostate cancer. The gene fusions involve the TMPRSS2 gene and the erg gene. This particular fusion is found in about 50 percent of men with prostate cancer and can be identified in urine, Groskopf said. "This is an id...U-M researchers discover traits of aggressive form of prostate cancer

...androgen, and ERG, which is a potential oncogene, are located close to one another on chromosome 21. When fused, TMPRSS2 drives over-expression of the erg gene. According to Perner, fusion can occur when the piece of DNA separating the genes breaks off and the genes merge (a process described as "fusion ...Multi-Focal ERG Electrodiagnostic System
