Disease Linkage
Gene Expression in Cancers:
The COSMIC website notes an up-regulated expression score for DCAMKL2 in diverse human cancers of 390, which is 0.8-fold of the average score of 462 for the human protein kinases. The down-regulated expression score of 4 for this protein kinase in human cancers was 0.1-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: 0.08 % in 24690 diverse cancer specimens. This rate is very similar (+ 6% higher) 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: 0.38 % in 1259 large intestine cancers tested; 0.35 % in 603 endometrium cancers tested; 0.3 % in 864 skin cancers tested; 0.27 % in 575 stomach cancers tested; 0.17 % in 548 urinary tract cancers tested; 0.15 % in 710 oesophagus cancers tested.
Frequency of Mutated Sites:
Most frequent mutations with the number of reports indicated in brackets: R275C (5); E594G (4).
Comments:
Only 3 deletions, 1 insertion, and no complex mutations are noted on the COSMIC website.
