In addition, recent studies have found a correlation between DRAK2 and tumorigenesis in diseases such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia (Ye et al., 2013), colorectal cancer, and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) (Hartmann et al., 2008). The gene discussed is STK17B; the disease is B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
