Disease Linkage
Gene Expression in Cancers:
The COSMIC website notes an up-regulated expression score for YANK2 in diverse human cancers of 411, 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: 0.13 % in 24970 diverse cancer specimens. This rate is 1.2-fold 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: 0.7 % in 589 stomach cancers tested; 0.61 % in 1270 large intestine cancers tested; 0.39 % in 864 skin cancers tested; 0.36 % in 603 endometrium cancers tested; 0.26 % in 1512 liver cancers tested; 0.24 % in 1822 lung cancers tested; 0.1 % in 942 upper aerodigestive tract cancers tested; 0.1 % in 238 bone cancers tested; 0.1 % in 1459 pancreas cancers tested; 0.09 % in 273 cervix cancers tested; 0.07 % in 710 oesophagus cancers tested; 0.05 % in 2082 central nervous system cancers tested; 0.05 % in 1372 breast cancers tested; 0.04 % in 558 thyroid cancers tested; 0.04 % in 548 urinary tract cancers tested; 0.04 % in 1276 kidney cancers tested.
