Disease Linkage
General Disease Association:
Cancer
Specific Cancer Types:
Breast cancer
Comments:
MAST1 has been shown in a fusion model with Notch to induced proliferation and has been observed in breast cancers. However, the role of MAST needs to be further characterized before concluding that it is a possible inducer of cancer.
Gene Expression in Cancers:
The COSMIC website notes an up-regulated expression score for MAST1 in diverse human cancers of 412, which is 0.9-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 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 24915 diverse cancer specimens. This rate is only -10 % 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: 0.32 % in 864 skin cancers tested; 0.27 % in 1270 large intestine cancers tested; 0.24 % in 589 stomach cancers tested; 0.19 % in 603 endometrium cancers tested; 0.19 % in 548 urinary tract cancers tested; 0.19 % in 273 cervix cancers tested; 0.08 % in 1823 lung cancers tested; 0.07 % in 833 ovary cancers tested; 0.07 % in 710 oesophagus cancers tested; 0.07 % in 1316 breast cancers tested; 0.05 % in 942 upper aerodigestive tract cancers tested; 0.05 % in 881 prostate cancers tested; 0.05 % in 558 thyroid cancers tested; 0.04 % in 1512 liver cancers tested; 0.03 % in 238 bone cancers tested; 0.02 % in 382 soft tissue cancers tested; 0.02 % in 2082 central nervous system cancers tested; 0.02 % in 2009 haematopoietic and lymphoid cancers tested; 0.02 % in 1459 pancreas cancers tested; 0.01 % in 1276 kidney cancers tested.
Frequency of Mutated Sites:
Most frequent mutations with the number of reports indicated in brackets: L792W (6); V108I (5).
Comments:
Only 5 deletions, and no insertions or complex mutations are noted on the COSMIC website.
