Recently, it has been indicated that a lack of Ndrg2 is associated with oncogenic properties through the loss of its role as a tumor suppressor, and that Ndrg2 is an independent poor prognostic factor predicting survival in clear cell renal cell carcinoma, suggesting that it can serve as a novel prognostic biomarker [31]. The gene discussed is NDRG2; the disease is clear cell renal carcinoma.
