ASSOCIATED DISORDERS
corresponding disease(s)
Other morbid association(s)
TypeGene ModificationChromosome rearrangementProtein expressionProtein Function
constitutional     --over  
higher PI3 expression in preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM fetal membranes suggests a host response to an inflammatory pathology
tumoral     --low  
in the majority of breast cancer cell lines compared with normal human mammary epithelial cells
constitutional     --low  
in tubal epithelium of women with hydrosalpinx with, likely, a lower expression of elafin, an elastase inhibitor and a natural antimicrobial molecule, compared to normal tubes
Susceptibility to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
Variant & Polymorphism SNP
  • association between SNP rs2664581 in the PI3 gene, increased risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and pre-elafin circulating levels
  • Candidate gene
    Marker
  • may serve as a biomarker in high-grade serous ovarian cancers and basal-like breast tumors
  • Elafin predicts poor outcome in breast and ovarian cancer patients
  • serves as a prognostic indicator for breast cancer patients
  • elafin has significant diagnostic and prognostic value as a biomarker of skin Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)
  • Therapy target
