Disease Associations 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).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.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. {ECO:0000269PubMed:10213508}. 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.
Tissue Specificity Expressed in all tissues examined. Expression is highest in prostate and testis. {ECO:0000269PubMed:10213508}.
