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 MCM3AP

The minichromosome maintenance protein 3 (MCM3) is one of the MCM proteins essential for the initiation of DNA replication. The protein encoded by this gene is a MCM3 binding protein. It was reported to have phosphorylation-dependent DNA-primase activity, which was up-regulated in antigen immunization induced germinal center. This protein was demonstrated to be an acetyltransferase that acetylates MCM3 and plays a role in DNA replication. The mutagenesis of a nuclear localization signal of MCM3 affects the binding of this protein with MCM3, suggesting that this protein may also facilitate MCM3 nuclear localization. This gene is expressed in the brain or in neuronal tissue. An allelic variant encoding amino acid Lys at 915, instead of conserved Glu, has been identified in patients with mild intellectual disability. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]
