Why is it important?
Gain more knowledge on wildlife diseases and parthenogenesis on neoplasia.
Perspectives
PNETs with FLI-1 expression have not been reported in any animal species, to our knowledge, and thus the tumorigenesis and the use of FLI-1 as a biomarker for diagnosis or therapy is poorly studied. I hope this study can inspire further investigations of cytogenetics (such as the chromosomal translocation of t(11; 22)(q24;q12) in humans) by fluorescence in situ hybridization and/or reverse-transcription PCR in animals with PNET or other common neoplasms are necessary to determine the role of FLI-1 in tumorigenesis and the use of FLI-1 as a marker in animals.
