NFIB and cancer: Among these were genes with established roles in cancer and cell death regulation: MAF (v-maf musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma oncogene), CTBP2 (C-terminal binding protein 2), antiapoptotic BCL2 (B-cell CLL/lymphoma 2), CITED2 (Cbp/p300-interacting transactivator), LASS6 (LAG1 homolog, ceramide synthase 6), PHF21A (PHD finger protein 21A), TSC22D1 (TSC22 domain family, member 1), ATXN1 (ataxin 1), JUN (jun oncogene) and NFIB (nuclear factor I/B).
