ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to methods for detecting the presence of SIX1 protein or nucleic acid in a biological sample in which a biological sample is contacted with an agent capable of detecting SIX1 protein or mRNA such that the presence of SIX1 is detected in the biological sample. Diagnostic and prognostic methods utilizing HSIX1 as an indicator of cancer and cancer progression are also provided. Compositions and kits for detecting the presence of SIX1 in a biological sample are also described.
