LAMC2 and neoplasm: Three genes have been identified, namely LAMC1 (formerly known as LAMB2), LAMC2 (also known as LAMB2T and LAMNB2), and LAMC3. LAMC1 is widely expressed in the basement membrane of tissues and is associated with tissue development as well as tumor cell invasion and metastasis, which may contribute to cancer development and progression [7–10].
