Not surprisingly, among them are EGFR (32, 33), NCOA2 (34, 35), DERL1 (36, 37), EXT1 (38, 39), PLAG1 (39), COPS5 (40, 41), ASAP1 (41, 42), CHRNA6 (43, 44), and CHRNB3 (44, 45), which have been associated with multiple types of cancers in previous studies. The gene discussed is ASAP1; the disease is cancer.
