MIM was assumedto function as a suppressor of metastasis [37].However, there is still no definitive opinion on thispoint [40, 41].An increase in MIM expression levels has been found tocorrelate with certain types of malignant transformations: for instance, inmelanoma and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma[42, 43].An increase in MIM expression also correlates with hepatocarcinoma progression[44]. The gene discussed is MTSS1; the disease is head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
