Along with upregulation of genes involved in cellular growth and development, we also observed that a number of genes with tumor suppressor function (GPRC5A, ELF1, NAB2, Sema4D, ACPP, MAP2, RUNX1) persistently remained downregulated in response to radiation exposure further tilting the balance in favor of transformation (Table 6)[43,53-58]. The gene discussed is GPRC5A; the disease is neoplasm.
