Unlike the findings in MYO18B, MYO18A was mostly associated with cancers through gene fusion events, with MYO18A frequently found to be fused with other oncogenes such as FGFR1 (Walz et al., 2005), PDGFRB (Walz et al., 2009), and MLL (Ussowicz et al., 2012). This evidence concerns the gene MYO18A and cancer.
