Disease Linkage
General Disease Association:
Eye disorders
Specific Diseases (Non-cancerous):
Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS5)
Comments:
It has been suggested that this class III myosin is a potential candidate for Bardet-Biedl syndrome. The MYO3B gene maps to 2q31.1-q31.2, which is a region that overlaps the locus for a Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS5) linked to markers at 2q31. Mutations in NINAC, a Drosophila melanogaster homologue of MYO3A and MYO3B, cause retinal degeneration in the fly.
Gene Expression in Cancers:
The COSMIC website notes an up-regulated expression score for MYO3B in diverse human cancers of 375, which is 0.8-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: 0.09 % in 24914 diverse cancer specimens. This rate is only 24 % 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: 0.5 % in 864 skin cancers tested; 0.41 % in 1270 large intestine cancers tested; 0.27 % in 589 stomach cancers tested; 0.23 % in 603 endometrium cancers tested; 0.16 % in 1822 lung cancers tested; 0.14 % in 273 cervix cancers tested; 0.11 % in 833 ovary cancers tested; 0.11 % in 1512 liver cancers tested; 0.09 % in 238 bone cancers tested; 0.07 % in 548 urinary tract cancers tested; 0.07 % in 1459 pancreas cancers tested; 0.05 % in 710 oesophagus cancers tested; 0.04 % in 1316 breast cancers tested; 0.04 % in 1276 kidney cancers tested; 0.03 % in 942 upper aerodigestive tract cancers tested; 0.03 % in 881 prostate cancers tested; 0.03 % in 441 autonomic ganglia 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.
Frequency of Mutated Sites:
Most frequent mutations with the number of reports indicated in brackets: C431R (4); S867P (3).
Comments:
Only 7 deletion, 1 insertion and no complex mutations are noted on the COSMIC website.
