Gastrointestinal cancers (Wu et al., 2009) such as gastric carcinoma show loss of lamin expression, whereas prostate (Kong et al., 2012; Khan et al., 2018) and breast cancers (Zhang and Lv, 2017) show both characteristics, and colorectal cancer (Willis et al., 2008) reveals different patterns of lamin expression. The gene discussed is LMNA; the disease is breast carcinoma.
