Mutations in the PALLD gene have been linked to pancreatic cancer (Liotta et al., 2021; Pogue-Geile et al., 2006; Slater et al., 2007), and PALLD levels have been shown to correlate with increased invasiveness of cancer cells (Gilam et al., 2016; Goicoechea et al., 2009; von Nandelstadh et al., 2014). The gene discussed is PALLD; the disease is cancer.
