Specifically, an inverse association was observed between expression of RBM3 and the minichromosome maintenance 3 (MCM3) gene and protein in human EOC samples and in ovarian cancer cells, and high expression of MCM3 was also demonstrated to be associated with poor prognosis in EOC, both at the mRNA and protein levels [16]. The gene discussed is RBM3; the disease is ovarian carcinoma.
