Published in Medical Devices and Surgical Technology Week, September 9th, 2007
New research, "Concentrations of TIMP1 mRNA splice variants and TIMP-1 protein are differentially associated with prognosis in primary breast cancer," is the subject of a report. According to a study from Rotterdam, Netherlands, "TIMP-1 protein is a prognostic factor for recurrence-free and overall survival (OS) time in breast cancer. We evaluated the prognostic value of TIMP1 mRNA and a novel TIMP1 mRNA splice variant in 1301 primary breast cancer patients."
"We measured mRNA transcripts of full-length TIMP1 (TIMP1-v1) and the novel splice variant lacking exon 2 (TIMP1-v2) by use of real-time RT-PCR in frozen primary tumor samples. Transcript concentrations are...
