Additionally, survival analysis indicated that abnormal spindle microtubule assembly (ASPM), CDK1, centromere protein F (CENPF), centrosomal protein 55 (CEP55), denticleless E3 ubiquitin protein ligase homolog (DTL), epithelial cell transforming 2 (ECT2), NIMA related kinase 2 (NEK2) and protein regulator of cytokinesis 1 (PRC1) may be associated with the tumorigenesis and development of pancreatic cancer. The gene discussed is DTL; the disease is familial pancreatic carcinoma.
