Disease Linkage
General Disease Association:
Immune disorders
Specific Diseases (Non-cancerous):
Irak-4 deficiency; Pneumococcal meningitis; Invasive pneumococcal disease, Recurrent isolated, 1
Comments:
IRAK4 deficiency is a rare immunodeficiency condition resulting in severe recurring infections with pyogenic bacteria (inducing pus production), especially Streptococcus pneumoniae. IRAK4 deficiency is linked to TLR signalling and NF-kappaB pathways.
Gene Expression in Cancers:
The COSMIC website notes an up-regulated expression score for IRAK4 in diverse human cancers of 397, which is 0.9-fold of the average score of 462 for the human protein kinases. The down-regulated expression score of 125 for this protein kinase in human cancers was 2.1-fold of the average score of 60 for the human protein kinases.
Mutagenesis Experiments:
Insertional mutagenesis studies in mice have not yet revealed a role for this protein kinase in mouse cancer oncogenesis.
Mutation Rate in All Cancers:
Percent mutation rates per 100 amino acids length in human cancers: 0.05 % in 25335 diverse cancer specimens. This rate is only -30 % lower than the average rate of 0.075 % calculated for human protein kinases in general.
Mutation Rate in Specific Cancers:
Highest percent mutation rates per 100 amino acids length in human cancers: 0.29 % in 603 endometrium cancers tested; 0.21 % in 1270 large intestine cancers tested; 0.2 % in 864 skin cancers tested; 0.18 % in 238 bone cancers tested; 0.11 % in 575 stomach cancers tested; 0.08 % in 558 thyroid cancers tested; 0.08 % in 548 urinary tract cancers tested; 0.07 % in 1512 liver cancers tested; 0.06 % in 710 oesophagus cancers tested; 0.06 % in 1956 lung cancers tested; 0.04 % in 1490 breast cancers tested; 0.03 % in 2060 central nervous system cancers tested; 0.03 % in 2009 haematopoietic and lymphoid cancers tested; 0.02 % in 939 prostate cancers tested; 0.02 % in 891 ovary cancers tested; 0.02 % in 1276 kidney cancers tested; 0 % in 958 upper aerodigestive tract cancers tested.
Frequency of Mutated Sites:
Most frequent mutations with the number of reports indicated in brackets: R12C (3).
Comments:
Only 5 deletions, and no insertions or complex mutations are noted on the COSMIC website.
