DAP and colorectal cancer: 2010b; Wazir et al. 2012; Xia et al. 2017; Yahiro et al. 2014). An imbalance in autophagy leads to the formation of different types of tumours (Udristioiu and Nica-Badea 2019). In this context a connection between DAP1, autophagocytosis and human carcinogenesis has been discovered (Wazir et al. 2015). The presence of DAP1 is associated to a favorable prognosis in breast, ovarian, colorectal cancer and others (Wazir et al. 2015; Nie et al. 2020; Jia et al. 2014), even though the positive influence is still under discussion in the literature (Santos et al. 2015).
