Table 2. Correlation of C-MYC gene expression with Type I/Type II ERG ratio.

Biological Breakdown	Type I/Type II ratio
	N	Median	P
C-MYC fold difference:	(45)	0.37	0.063
			**0.056
< 0.5 fold (down-regulation)	8	0.28	**
0.5-2 fold (relatively unchanged)	23	0.46
> 2.0 fold (up-regulation)	14	0.72

^**Trending towards significance. P < 0.05 was considered significant.

As C-MYC gene expression is found to be down-regulated in CaP patients, Type I/II ERG ratio is low. When C-MYC gene expression is up-regulated in CaP patients, Type I/II ERG ratio is found to be high.
