In a screen of human squamous cell carcinomas, the UM-SCC-17A cell line (Brenner et al., 2010), derived from the primary laryngeal cancer site of a 48-year-old female patient, did not express detectable levels of mEAK-7 protein (Nguyen et al., 2018). The gene discussed is MEAK7; the disease is laryngeal carcinoma.
