At least three genes from this list were involved in the formation of carcinomas, including breast carcinoma (CASP8, HSPA4, BCL2L11), prostate carcinoma (BCL2, CASP8, BCL2L11, ATM), and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (BCL2, CASP8, FAS, BCL2L11, BAK1). Here, BCL2L11 is linked to B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
