Variants in BAK1, SPRY4, and GAB2 are associated with pediatric germ cell tumors: A report from the children's oncology group
AssociationN=366Marcotte EL et al.(2017)· Genes, Chromosomes and Cancer

Case-parent triad study of 366 pediatric and adolescent germ cell tumor (GCT) cases examining 26 SNPs from adult testicular GCT GWAS. Three variants reached multiple testing-corrected significance: SPRY4 rs4624820 (OR=0.70, protective), BAK1 rs210138 (OR=1.70, particularly strong for testicular tumors OR=3.31), and GAB2 rs948662 (OR=1.56). Maternal effects observed for KITLG rs4474514 (OR=1.66) and rs7221274 near TEX14/RAD51C/PPM1E (OR=1.63).

About CENPE

Centrosome-associated protein E (CENPE) is a kinesin-like motor protein that accumulates in the G2 phase of the cell cycle. Unlike other centrosome-associated proteins, it is not present during interphase and first appears at the centromere region of chromosomes during prometaphase. This protein is required for stable spindle microtubule capture at kinetochores which is a necessary step in chromosome alignment during prometaphase. This protein also couples chromosome position to microtubule depolymerizing activity. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct protein isoforms.
