Disease Linkage
Gene Expression in Cancers:
The COSMIC website notes an up-regulated expression score for PDHK2 in diverse human cancers of 478, which is close to the average score of 462 for the human protein kinases. The down-regulated expression score of 111 for this protein kinase in human cancers was 1.9-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: 0.05 % in 24772 diverse cancer specimens. This rate is only -33 % 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: 0.22 % in 548 urinary tract cancers tested; 0.2 % in 864 skin cancers tested; 0.2 % in 603 endometrium cancers tested; 0.19 % in 1270 large intestine cancers tested; 0.1 % in 710 oesophagus cancers tested; 0.09 % in 273 cervix cancers tested; 0.09 % in 1634 lung cancers tested; 0.07 % in 1512 liver cancers tested; 0.06 % in 881 prostate cancers tested; 0.04 % in 2103 central nervous system cancers tested; 0.04 % in 1276 kidney cancers tested; 0.02 % in 1316 breast cancers tested.
Frequency of Mutated Sites:
None > 3 in 20,055 cancer specimens
Comments:
Only 2 deletions, 1 insertion, and no complex mutations are noted on the COSMIC website.
