Quantitative <b> <i>TP73</i> </b> Transcript Analysis in Hepatocellular Carcinomas

Abstract

Although we only analyzed 10 patient samples the results strongly suggest that the elevated activity of the first promoter (TA promoter) accounts for high-level expression of both full-length TA-p73 and aberrantly spliced DeltaTA-p73 isoforms in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues.
