Comments:
There may be a possible association between variation in the BRD2 gene and juvenile myoclonic epilepsy.
Gene Expression in Cancers:
TranscriptoNET (www.transcriptonet.ca) analysis with mRNA expression data retrieved from the National Center for Biotechnology Information's Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, which was normalized against 60 abundantly and commonly found proteins, indicated altered expression for this protein kinase as shown here as the percent change from normal tissue controls (%CFC) as supported with the Student T-test in the following types of human cancers: Bladder carcinomas (%CFC= +131, p<0.0001); Large B-cell lymphomas (%CFC= +49, p<0.003); Malignant pleural mesotheliomas (MPM) tumours (%CFC= +93, p<0.0002); Ovary adenocarcinomas (%CFC= +66, p<0.094); Prostate cancer - metastatic (%CFC= +46, p<0.0001); Skin fibrosarcomas (%CFC= +95, p<0.005); Skin melanomas - malignant (%CFC= +177, p<0.0001); and Skin squamous cell carcinomas (%CFC= +103, p<0.002).
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 24455 diverse cancer specimens. This rate is only -13 % 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: 0.34 % in 555 stomach cancers tested; 0.22 % in 1229 large intestine cancers tested; 0.2 % in 864 skin cancers tested; 0.14 % in 548 urinary tract cancers tested; 0.13 % in 1512 liver cancers tested; 0.09 % in 1608 lung cancers tested.
Frequency of Mutated Sites:
None > 1 in 20,073 cancer specimens
Comments:
Nine deletion, 4 insertions and no complex mutations are noted on the COSMIC website.
