TypeGene ModificationChromosome rearrangementProtein expressionProtein Function
constitutional     --over  
in multiple sclerosis, liver fibrosis and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction with hypertension
tumoral     --over  
in acute myelogenous leukaemia
constitutional     --over  
in scarred keratoconic cornea

in colorectal cancer
tumoral     --over  
CCNL1 and TIMP1 expression was significantly elevated in breast cancer tissues compared with that in peri-breast cancer tissues
constitutional     --low  
in unrecognized overgrowth syndrome associated with increased cellular proliferation and defective collagen I deposition due to an imbalance between MMP and TIMP in fibroblasts
constitutional     --over  
plasma TIMP1 was elevated and correlated with TGFB1 in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD), but not in Becker muscular dystrophy
Susceptibility
Variant & Polymorphism other demonstrating polymorphic X-chromosome inactivation
Candidate gene
  • prognostic marker in colorectal and breast cancer
  • Marker
  • relationship between higher plasma levels of TIMP1 and an adverse prognosis in patients with liver metastases, and plasma TIMP1 levels could help the detection of patients with worse outcome
  • biomarker for thyroid cancer exhibiting differences in the correlation coefficients between benign and malignant samples that indicate its discriminatory power
  • Therapy target
