TypeGene ModificationChromosome rearrangementProtein expressionProtein Function
tumoral     --over  
in osteosarcoma tissues compared with that in adjacent normal ones, and may predict poor prognosis among osteosarcoma patients
tumoral     --over  
in urothelial carcinoma is associated with features of aggressive tumor biology and portends a poor prognosis
tumoral     --over  
is highly overexpressed in malignant cells of acsites in gastric carcinoma
constitutional     --low  
reduced SLC16A4 and SLC1A3 expression by astrocytes may lead to neuronal hyperexcitability and epileptogenesis in the temporal lobe by reducing the supply of metabolic intermediates and by allowing accumulation of extracellular glutamate
tumoral     --over  
SLC16A44 and BSG overexpression correlated with higher PSA levels, as well as with perineural invasion and biochemical recurrence in prostate carcinoma
