Background: Amphoterin-induced gene and open reading frame 2 (AMIGO2) have been reported to be related to the prognosis of colorectal, gastric, and cervical cancer. However, their association with ovarian cancer remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the role of AMIGO2 in ovarian cancer.

Amphoterin-induced gene and open reading frame 2 (AMIGO2) was found to regulate tumor cell adhesion to hepatic endothelial cells and act as a driver gene for liver metastasis in mouse cell lines. However, whether the role of AMIGO2 observed in mouse tumor cells can be extrapolated to human cancer cells in vivo has not been verified.

We report an imported case of that was confirmed by Wright-Giemsa-stained peripheral blood smear and nested polymerase chain reaction targeting the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene. The amplified DNA was sequenced and compared with other registered P.
