Marker
  • serum FBLN1 and STK31 are biomarkers of colorectal cancer, having ability to noninvasively differentiate colorectal cancer from benign polyps
  • changes in VIM and FBLN1 methylation levels in cell-free DNA (cfDNA) are associated with Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and could represent useful plasma-based biomarkers
  • plasma levels of FBLN1 could serve as a potential indicator to monitor kidney malfunction or kidney damage
  • Therapy target
    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • Fbln1c-/- mice also had reduced airway remodeling in experimental chronic asthma and pulmonary fibrosis
  • Fbln1c-deficient (-/-) mice had reduced pulmonary remodeling/fibrosis and improved lung function after bleomycin challenge
