Disease Linkage
General Disease Association:
Neurological disorders
Specific Diseases (Non-cancerous):
Familial febrile seizures
Comments:
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the CK1g2 gene have been linked to the occurence of febrile seizures in the Han Chinese population. Specifically, the SNPs re740423, rs2277737, and rs1059684 were observed to be associated with the occurence of febrile seizures, indicating a potential role for the gene in the pathology of the condition. Febrile seizures, as known as a fever fit, is a neurological event characterized by the concurrence of an epileptic seizure with elevated body temperature. These events are most common in children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years.
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: Cervical cancer stage 2A (%CFC= +48, p<0.057); Cervical cancer stage 2B (%CFC= +82, p<0.095); and Prostate cancer - primary (%CFC= +78, p<0.0001). The COSMIC website notes an up-regulated expression score for CK1g2 in diverse human cancers of 440, which is close to the average score of 462 for the human protein kinases. The down-regulated expression score of 151 for this protein kinase in human cancers was 2.5-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 24726 diverse cancer specimens. This rate is only -12 % lower than 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: 0.38 % in 1270 large intestine cancers tested; 0.2 % in 864 skin cancers tested; 0.16 % in 603 endometrium cancers tested.
Frequency of Mutated Sites:
None > 2 in 20,009 cancer specimens
Comments:
Only 1 deletion, and no insertions or complex mutations are noted on the COSMIC website.
