## TL;DR

ADAM29 (Disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 29) is a gene. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. Tied to Breast cancer.

## Summary

May be involved in spermatogenesis and fertilisation. Seems to be a non catalytic metalloprotease-like protein.

Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.52 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes literature 0.80, genetic association 0.65).

## Notes

- Written by scripts/fetch-cancer-genes.ts from CIViC, Open Targets, IntOGen, HGNC and UniProt; the function text is UniProt's, condensed and in UK spelling. Roles: none stated by the sources. Evidence tier "association-only" is the strongest of those signals.
- Prevalence not recorded: none of the sources gives a positivity rate.
