ASSOCIATED DISORDERS
corresponding disease(s) CCM4
Other morbid association(s)
TypeGene ModificationChromosome rearrangementProtein expressionProtein Function
tumoral     --over  
in breast and ovarian cancer(leading to increased NFkappaB activity and increased expression of cell survival factors and ultimately contributing to their resistance to apoptosis)
tumoral somatic mutation      
in verrucous venous malformation (VVM), also called “verrucous hemangioma,”
tumoral     --over  
significantly increased in esophageal dysplasia and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in comparison with normal mucosa
tumoral     --over  
in high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma

may be a valuable therapeutic target in patients with MAP3K3-amplified breast cancers, and blocking MAP3K3 kinase activity with a small molecule inhibitor may sensitize MAP3K3-amplified breast cancer cells to chemotherapy
cancer  
therapeutic target to control cancer cell resistance to cytokine- or drug-induced apoptosis

silencing of MAP3K3 represents a valid approach to revert the aggressiveness of pancreatic cancer by modulating YAP1/TAZ transcriptional activities
