Summary of SLC39A4 gene variations detected in 42 patients with pancreatic cancer.
Gene Region | Total No. of Cases | Germline SNPs | Somatic Base Shift | Somatic LOH |
---|---|---|---|---|
Promoter | 4 | 3 | 2 | |
Intron | 7 | 3 | 2 | |
Exon: synonymous | 2 | 2 | 1 | 2 |
Exon: non synonymous | 8 | 6 | 1 | 3 |
Total | 21 | 14 | 2 | 9 |
Half (n=21) of the patients carried genetic variants in SLC39A4 gene, but without statistical significance. There is no somatic mutation identified.
