The independent prognostic impact of the GATA2 pioneering factor is restricted to ERG-negative prostate cancer

GATA2 is a pioneering transcription factor governing androgen receptor expression and signaling in prostate cells. To understand the prognostic potential of GATA2 assessment in prostate cancer, we analyzed nuclear GATA2 expression on an annotated tissue microarray with 12,427 prostate cancer samples. Normal prostate glands were negative to weakly positive. GATA2 staining was found in almost all prostate cancers (95%). Strong GATA2 staining was...
