Gastrulation brain homeobox 2 (GBX2) methylation is associated with Gleason score (GS), pathologic stage (pT), and biochemical recurrence (BCR) in prostate cancer (PCa). Among intraductal carcinoma/cribriform architecture (IDC/C)-negative patients, GBX2 methylation improves prediction of BCR. Loss of TET2 in prostate cells results in greater GBX2 methylation.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
