TypeGene ModificationChromosome rearrangementProtein expressionProtein Function
tumoral somatic mutation     loss of function
loss of function by somatic mutation in lung, prostate, ovarian colon cancer cell lines
tumoral     --low  
by hypermethylation, more common in AML patients with 5q deletion than those without 5q deletion
tumoral fusion      
with RAF1 in melanomas
Susceptibility
Variant & Polymorphism
Candidate gene loss of expression of the alpha-catenin tumor suppressor in hematopoietic stem cells may provide a growth advantage that contributes to human MDS or AML with del(5q)
