Accumulating evidence demonstrates that additional transcription factors that are frequently mutated, or aberrantly expressed in prostate cancer, such as the pioneer transcription factors Forkhead Box A1 (FOXA1), the homeobox protein HOXB13, and the GATA binding protein 2 (GATA2), and the ETS-related gene (ERG), and the MYC proto-oncogene, contribute to the reprogramming of the AR cistrome. The gene discussed is MYC; the disease is prostate cancer.
