FMR1 and cancer: To explore a possible role for FMRP in cancer biology, we examined FMRP expression level using a multi-tumour human TMA (Capra et al, 2006; Confalonieri et al, 2009) (Fig 1; Supporting Information Table S1A) with an FMRP specific antibody (Ferrari et al, 2007) (Supporting Information Fig S1).
