Susceptibility
Variant & Polymorphism
Candidate gene
  • increased expression of SERPINB5 is associated with metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma
  • detection of SERPINB5 in blood may indicate aggressive disease in breast cancer
  • Marker
  • may be a useful marker to identify the potential for progression in oral squamous cell carcinoma
  • cytoplasmic mSERPINB5 may play an important role in lung carcinomas by regulating apoptosis and thus is a favorable prognostic marker for adenocarcinoma patients whereas nuclear localization may be linked to promotion of angiogenesis
  • Therapy target
