Disease Linkage

Gene Expression in Cancers:

The COSMIC website notes an up-regulated expression score for EPHA6 in diverse human cancers of 438, which is close to 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 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: 0.14 % in 25741 diverse cancer specimens. This rate is 1.9-fold 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: 0.98 % in 913 skin cancers tested; 0.44 % in 1259 large intestine cancers tested; 0.4 % in 629 stomach cancers tested; 0.37 % in 1956 lung cancers tested; 0.29 % in 710 oesophagus cancers tested; 0.25 % in 152 biliary tract cancers tested; 0.21 % in 603 endometrium cancers tested; 0.16 % in 1512 liver cancers tested.
Frequency of Mutated Sites:

Most frequent mutations with the number of reports indicated in brackets: R174C (9); R165C (3); R88C (3).
Comments:
Only 1 deletion, 2 insertions and no complex mutations are noted on the COSMIC website.
