Remarkably, a combined analysis of the relationship between ERG or 3p/5q/6q deletions and TYMS expression revealed that the slight difference in TYMS expression was solely driven by deletions while there was no difference in TYMS expression between ERG positive and negative cancers without 3p/5q/6q deletions (p = 0.4474, Figure 3d). The gene discussed is ERG; the disease is cancer.
