On the basis of the Kaplan Meier survival estimates, the group of patients who had tumours with TMPRSS2 ERG gene fusion had a much greater rate of recurrence at 5 years (58.4%) than patients who lacked the fusion gene (8.1%; P<0.0001).
Thus, assuming that coexpression can be used a reasonable proxy for the obligateness of a complex, these results strongly support the idea fusion has a much greater propensity to occur between subunits in obligate complexes compared to transient complexes.
The Awesome Dynamic Rod System did protect the adjacent level of fusion segments, but led to much greater ROM, disc stresses, and facet joint contact forces increasing at the adjacent level of instrumented segments.
As such, haplotype fusion PCR will allow determination of haplotypes at a much greater distance than is accurately possible by long PCR.
The researchers found that primates that live in fission-fusion societies, such as chimpanzees, bonobos, orangutans, and spider monkeys, had much greater inhibitory control than gorillas, capuchin monkeys, and long-tailed macaques, which live in more stable, cohesive groups.
Other fusion reactions involving elements with an atomic number above 2 can be used, but only with much greater difficulty.
The "reverse distance" (if fusion were to occur in the opposite gene order [i.e., β upstream of γ]) is much greater (66 Å).
Banking regulators advocate much greater caution.
And the impact might be much greater.
