As BIRC2 (cIAP1), BIRC4 (XIAP) and BIRC5 (survivin) tended to be co-upregulated in prostate cancer in addition to BIRC6, simultaneous targeting of BIRC6 plus one of these IAP members was more likely to give superior anti-cancer effects. The gene discussed is BIRC6; the disease is Familial prostate cancer.
