Disease Linkage
General Disease Association:
Musculoskeletal disorders
Specific Diseases (Non-cancerous):
Centronuclear myopathy
Comments:
In animal studies, mice lacking MSSK1 display a type 2 fibre-specific myopathy characterized by an increase portion of cells with centrally placed nuclei. In addition, overexpressing SRPK3 in mice leads to severe muscle degeneration and lethality.
Gene Expression in Cancers:
The COSMIC website notes an up-regulated expression score for MSSK1 in diverse human cancers of 688, which is 1.5-fold of the average score of 462 for the human protein kinases. The down-regulated expression score of 161 for this protein kinase in human cancers was 2.7-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: 0.06 % in 24914 diverse cancer specimens. This rate is only -25 % 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: 0.21 % in 1270 large intestine cancers tested; 0.19 % in 589 stomach cancers tested; 0.17 % in 864 skin cancers tested; 0.16 % in 603 endometrium cancers tested; 0.1 % in 942 upper aerodigestive tract cancers tested; 0.1 % in 1822 lung cancers tested; 0.07 % in 548 urinary tract cancers tested; 0.07 % in 273 cervix cancers tested; 0.06 % in 1316 breast cancers tested; 0.05 % in 1512 liver cancers tested; 0.03 % in 558 thyroid cancers tested; 0.03 % in 2082 central nervous system cancers tested; 0.03 % in 1276 kidney cancers tested; 0.02 % in 881 prostate cancers tested; 0.01 % in 2009 haematopoietic and lymphoid cancers tested.
Frequency of Mutated Sites:
None > 3 in 20,197 cancer specimens
Comments:
Only 5 deletions, 1 insertion and no complex mutations are noted on the COSMIC website.
