Disease Linkage
General Disease Association:
Sleep disorders
Specific Diseases (Non-cancerous):
Advanced sleep phase syndrome
Comments:
Advanced Sleep Phase Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder causing the sleep cycle to shift forward so that sufferers fall asleep in the early evening, and wake up in the early morning.
Gene Expression in Cancers:
TranscriptoNET (www.transcriptonet.ca) analysis with mRNA expression data retrieved from the National Center for Biotechnology Information's Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, which was normalized against 60 abundantly and commonly found proteins, indicated altered expression for this protein kinase as shown here as the percent change from normal tissue controls (%CFC) as supported with the Student T-test in the following types of human cancers: Breast epithelial cell carcinomas (%CFC= +87, p<0.039); Cervical cancer stage 2B (%CFC= -63); Clear cell renal cell carcinomas (cRCC) stage I (%CFC= +370, p<0.0001); Colon mucosal cell adenomas (%CFC= +61, p<0.0001); Colorectal adenocarcinomas (early onset) (%CFC= +53, p<0.002); Large B-cell lymphomas (%CFC= +87, p<(0.0003); and Ovary adenocarcinomas (%CFC= +82, p<0.005). The COSMIC website notes an up-regulated expression score for CK1e in diverse human cancers of 439, which is close to the average score of 462 for the human protein kinases. The down-regulated expression score of 85 for this protein kinase in human cancers was 1.4-fold of the average score of 60 for the human protein kinases.
Mutagenesis Experiments:
Insertional mutagenesis studies in mice have not yet revealed a role for this protein kinase in mouse cancer oncogenesis.
Mutation Rate in All Cancers:
Percent mutation rates per 100 amino acids length in human cancers: 0.07 % in 25161 diverse cancer specimens. This rate is only -1 % lower and is very similar to the average rate of 0.075 % calculated for human protein kinases in general.
Mutation Rate in Specific Cancers:
Highest percent mutation rates per 100 amino acids length in human cancers: 0.29 % in 589 stomach cancers tested; 0.28 % in 1270 large intestine cancers tested.
Frequency of Mutated Sites:
Most frequent mutations with the number of reports indicated in brackets: N172D (3). These mutations are located in the kinase catalytic domain.
Comments:
Only 2 deletion, 1 complex and no insertions mutations are noted on the COSMIC website.
