Disease Linkage
Comments:
Several SNPs in the MARK1 gene have been identified from genotyping of 276 families with autism. Overexpression of MARK1 in mouse cortical neurons resulted in shorter dendrite length and decreased transport speed. It has been proposed that MARK1 overexpression in autistic individuals may underlie subtle changes in synaptic plasticity linked to dendritic trafficking. MARK1 is over-expressed in the prefrontal cortex of autism patients and affects the function of cortical dendrites.
Gene Expression in Cancers:
TranscriptoNET (www.transcriptonet.ca) analysis with mRNA expression data retrieved from the National Center for Biotechnology Information's Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, which was normalized against 60 abundantly and commonly found proteins, indicated altered expression for this protein kinase as shown here as the percent change from normal tissue controls (%CFC) as supported with the Student T-test in the following types of human cancers: Barrett's esophagus epithelial metaplasia (%CFC= -51, p<0.01); Bladder carcinomas (%CFC= +126, p<0.014); Breast epithelial carcinomas (%CFC= +137, p<0.063); Oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC) (%CFC= +50, p<0.068); and Skin squamous cell carcinomas (%CFC= +91, p<0.046). The COSMIC website notes an up-regulated expression score for MARK1 in diverse human cancers of 590, which is 1.3-fold of the average score of 462 for the human protein kinases. The down-regulated expression score of 12 for this protein kinase in human cancers was 0.2-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: 0.12 % in 24766 diverse cancer specimens. This rate is a modest 1.57-fold higher 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: 0.6 % in 1270 large intestine cancers tested; 0.41 % in 864 skin cancers tested; 0.4 % in 603 endometrium cancers tested; 0.28 % in 1634 lung cancers tested; 0.26 % in 629 stomach cancers tested; 0.21 % in 238 bone cancers tested; 0.18 % in 548 urinary tract cancers tested; 0.18 % in 273 cervix cancers tested; 0.11 % in 1459 pancreas cancers tested; 0.08 % in 1512 liver cancers tested; 0.08 % in 1316 breast cancers tested; 0.08 % in 1276 kidney cancers tested; 0.06 % in 833 ovary cancers tested; 0.05 % in 710 oesophagus cancers tested; 0.04 % in 942 upper aerodigestive tract cancers tested; 0.04 % in 2082 central nervous system cancers tested.
