Genes with dual proto-oncogene and tumor suppressor gene activities are frequently altered by protein losses in colon cancers.

Abstract excerpt

Cancer genes are largely categorized into tumor suppressor gene (TSG) and proto-oncogene, but many have dual activities depending on the cellular context. In the present study, we analyzed DYRK1B, ESRP1, MTSS1, ADAMTS1, and INPP5F genes known to possess the dual activities in sporadic colon cancers (CCs). By the mutation analysis, we identified DYRK1B, ESRP1, MTSS1, ADAMTS1, and INPP5F frameshift mutations in 2,...
