| SWISS-PROT | Lung cancer (LNCR) [MIM:211980]: A common malignancy affecting tissues of the lung. The most common form of lung cancer is non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that can be divided into 3 major histologic subtypes: squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and large cell lung cancer. NSCLC is often diagnosed at an advanced stage and has a poor prognosis. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. DLEC1 silencing due to promoter methylation and aberrant transcription are implicated in the development of lung cancer |
| SWISS-PROT | Note=DLEC1 silencing due to promoter methylation and aberrant transcription are implicated in the development of different cancers, including esophageal (ESCR), renal and lung cancers (LNCR) |
| SWISS-PROT | Esophageal cancer (ESCR) [MIM:133239]: A malignancy of the esophagus. The most common types are esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Cancer of the esophagus remains a devastating disease because it is usually not detected until it has progressed to an advanced incurable stage. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. DLEC1 silencing due to promoter methylation and aberrant transcription are implicated in the development of esophageal cancer |
