The prognostic value of a set of genes showing significant associations with BCR and other clinical variables in PCa1 study (ERG, EZH2, GPR52, HPN, MT1E, OLR1, and TERT) was further analyzed in an independent cohort of 53 PCa cases utilizing TaqMan-based single-assay real-time PCR. This evidence concerns the gene ERG and posterior cortical atrophy.
