These 8 genes are AJUBA (Ajuba LIM Protein), BCAR1 (also known as p130cas, Breast cancer anti-estrogen resistance protein 1), DLC1 (Rho GTPase activating protein), DPP4 (Dipeptidyl peptidase-4), FHL2 (Four and a half LIM Domains 2), LIMS2 (LIM zinc finger domain containing 2), NCSTN (Nicastrin), and PARVA (Parvin alpha). The gene discussed is LIMS2; the disease is cancer.
