HGNC name Fas (TNF receptor superfamily, member 6)
HGNC id 11920
ASSOCIATED DISORDERS
corresponding disease(s) CSS1 , TAL4
Other morbid association(s)
TypeGene ModificationChromosome rearrangementProtein expressionProtein Function
tumoral fusion      
fusion with ESR1 in several cancer lines (prostate, breast cervical, bladder)
tumoral somatic mutation      
mutated in the death domain in the non small cell lung cancer, in non lymphoid malignancie, T cell lymphoma and Hodgkin's disease, thyroid lymphoma, nasal NK/T cell lymphoma
tumoral       loss of function
  • retention of intron 5 and encodes a dysfunctional protein
  • impairment of Fas-induced apoptosis resulting from aberrant splicing potentially contributes to the development and progression of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma
  • tumoral somatic mutation      
    in nodal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
    tumoral     --over  
    in epithelial ovarian cancer
    Susceptibility
  • implicated early-onset Alzheimer with inconsistant results
  • to autoimmune diabetes
  • systemic lupus erythematous with loss of regulation of B lymphocytes
  • to acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
  • to myocardial infarction (MI)
  • Variant & Polymorphism SNP , other
  • promoter playing a role in Alzheimer disease
  • increased risk of AML associated with heterozygotes (GA) and homozygote variants (AA) at position -1377 bp
  • SNP (-670G/A), may be a risk factor of MI occurrence
  • Candidate gene

    locking FAS in apoptosis-mode may be a more promising anti-cancer strategy than simply inhibiting or stimulating FAS
