TypeGene ModificationChromosome rearrangementProtein expressionProtein Function
tumoral     --low  
either low in abundance or absent in breast cancer biosamples
constitutional     --low  
mRNA level of ASS1 in PKU patients was lower than that of normal people, which was well correlated with its methylation status
tumoral     --low  
in myxofibrosarcomas, with loss of expression linked to promoter methylation, and clinical aggressiveness
