Recently, several studies have demonstrated that KIF20A may play an important role in the development and progression of many different types of cancer, including melanoma [10], breast cancer [11, 12], nasopharyngeal cancer [13], pancreatic cancer [14–16], hepatocellular carcinoma [17], and lung cancer [18, 19]. The gene discussed is KIF20A; the disease is familial pancreatic carcinoma.
