Gene Expression in Cancers:
The COSMIC website notes an up-regulated expression score for CYGF in diverse human cancers of 506, which is 1.1-fold of the average score of 462 for the human protein kinases. The down-regulated expression score of 0 for this protein kinase in human cancers was 100% lower than 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: 0.1 % in 24917 diverse cancer specimens. This rate is only 34 % higher 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: 0.43 % in 1296 large intestine cancers tested; 0.4 % in 864 skin cancers tested; 0.31 % in 603 endometrium cancers tested; 0.25 % in 589 stomach cancers tested; 0.25 % in 1685 lung cancers tested; 0.2 % in 273 cervix cancers tested; 0.15 % in 238 bone cancers tested; 0.11 % in 710 oesophagus cancers tested; 0.1 % in 833 ovary cancers tested; 0.06 % in 1512 liver cancers tested.
Frequency of Mutated Sites:
Most frequent mutations with the number of reports indicated in brackets: R493H (4); R493C (3); R10P (3).
Comments:
Only 2 deletions, and no insertions or complex mutations are noted on the COSMIC website.
