ERG ETS transcription factor ERG

ENSG00000157554 · protein coding · Open Targets profile

Transcriptional regulator. May participate in transcriptional regulation through the recruitment of SETDB1 histone methyltransferase and subsequent modification of local chromatin structure.

In 12 of 15 cancers, the evidence for ERG comes mainly from mutations found in tumours

Each row is a cancer, strongest overall evidence first. The two dots show how strong the inherited (germline) and tumour-mutation (somatic) evidence is; the line between them is the gap.

Scores run from 0 (no evidence) to 1 (strongest). A missing dot at 0 means Open Targets holds no evidence of that kind. Source: Open Targets Platform, fetched live.

gnomAD loss of function constraint: o/e 0.16263000667095184 (upper bound 0.2837899923324585). Low values mean loss of function is poorly tolerated, a safety flag for inhibition.

Who runs trials of these drugs

No named investigators on registry trials of ERG's approved or late-stage drugs in the last three years.

No terminated, withdrawn or suspended trials of ERG's drugs are registered
