Correlating the genetic alterations and expression profile of the TRA2B gene in HNSCC and LUSC

Folia Med (Plovdiv). 2024 Oct 31;66(5):673-681. doi: 10.3897/folmed.66.e117367.

Abstract

Transformer (TRA2B) is a serine/arginine-rich (SR)-like protein family that regulates the alternative splicing of several genes in a concentration-dependent manner. Amplification of the TRA2B gene, which codes for TRA2B, occurs in several malignancies, including those of the lung, cervix, head and neck, ovary, stomach, and uterine.

Keywords: cancer genetics gene alterations gene expression microRNA.
