However, Laddha et al. (59) have recently proposed that Beclin 1 was incorrectly reported to be a tumor suppressor because of its proximity to the BRCA1 gene, as deletions were found to contain either both BRAC1 and Beclin 1 or BRAC1 alone, indicating that BRCA1 is the driver of tumorigenesis. This evidence concerns the gene BECN1 and neoplasm.
