To assess the clinical relevance of crosstalk between BMP9/ALK2 signaling and NOTCH pathway activation in human prostate cancer, we performed bioinformatics analysis in 48 benign prostate tumors and 47 malignant prostate tumors (Borno et al., 2012) using R2 data mining platform (source: GEO ID: GSE29079). Here, ACVR1 is linked to Familial prostate cancer.
