Although the ESRP1 gene is located on chromosome 8 close to the MYC oncogene (an important oncogene that is also frequently amplified in prostate cancer [15]), ESRP1 amplification can be observed in prostate tumours independently of MYC alterations, indicating that it is not a bystander event [14]. This evidence concerns the gene ESRP1 and prostate neoplasm.
