Intriguingly, MFF was the only gene among the fission/fusion related genes that was found to strongly follow the genome co-expression profile of DRP1 with mitotic genes, in support of the recent evidence supporting the indispensable role of MFF in the fidelity of chromosome segregation and in providing a survival benefit to highly proliferative cancer cells (Pangou et al., 2021). This evidence concerns the gene DNM1L and cancer.
