Landscape of CDKN1B Mutations in Luminal Breast Cancer and Other Hormone-Driven Human Tumors
17 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
The CDKN1B gene encodes for the p27Kip1 protein, firstly characterized as a cyclin dependent kinase (CDK)-inhibitor. Germline CDKN1B pathogenic variants have been described in hereditary tumors, such as MEN-like syndromes and Familial Prostate Cancer. Despite its central role in tumor progression, for a long time it has been proposed that CDKN1B was very rarely somatically mutated in human cancer and that its...
