Susceptibility
  • to breast cancer development
  • to renal cell carcinoma (RCC)
  • Variant & Polymorphism other
  • Polymorphisms in the 5' region of DPF3 were associated with increased risk of breast cancer development, lymph node metastases, age of onset, and tumor size in women of European ancestry
  • rs4903064, located in an intron of DPF3, rs4903064-C RCC risk allele creates a HIF-binding site and would be predicted to enhance gene expression, whereas the rs4903064-T protective allele is predicted to increase the affinity for the IRX2/IRX5 binding, which represses DPF3 transcription
