In accordance with this, MYBL2 protein levels have been shown to be significantly upregulated in matched breast cancer metastases compared to the primary tumor.111 Similar results were shown for prostate cancer and renal cell carcinoma: MYBL2 is overexpressed in prostate cancer (xenograft) metastases,121 whereas in renal cell carcinoma MYBL2 was found to be expressed in metastases from primary tumors being MYBL2 negative.93 Here, MYBL2 is linked to Familial prostate cancer.
