Fluctuating levels of PTEN/PTENP1 are often correlated in prostate cancer samples and deletion of PTENP1 occurs frequently in some sporadic cancers such as endometrial, colon and prostate cancers, attributing a tumour suppressor function to PTENP1, that is independent of its regulation of PTEN [32, 127, 128]. Here, PTENP1 is linked to prostate cancer.
