Variant & Polymorphism
Candidate gene
Marker
  • variant CIZ1 is a strong candidate for a cancer-specific single marker capable of identifying early-stage lung cancer within at-risk groups without resort to invasive procedures
  • overexpression of CIZ1 may contribute to the growth and angiogenesis of lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), thus CIZ1 could represent a biomarker for diagnosis and a target for therapeutic intervention
  • Therapy target
    SystemTypeDisorderPubmed
    cancerdigestiveliver
    CIZ1 might be a therapeutic target for HCC
    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • germline knockout of Ciz1 is associated with motor and hematological abnormalities in young adult mice
  • Ciz1(-/-) mice did not manifest dystonia, but exhibited mild motoric abnormalities on balance, open-field activity, and gait
