The strongest evidence for a causative role in cancer development and tumor cell biology exists for SEC62 with the first association with human cancer having been reported in 2006: Jung et al.88 investigated copy-number changes in 22 prostate cancer samples and found copy-number gains of the SEC62 gene in 50% of cases as well as increased SEC62-mRNA levels in all analyzed samples. This evidence concerns the gene SEC62 and neoplasm.
