ING1
ING1 (Inhibitor of growth protein 1) is a gene whose normal job is to hold cell growth in check. The public catalogues list it as a tumour suppressor, and it is called a cancer driver by mutation analysis of patient cohorts. Tied to Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, Colorectal cancer and Endometrial cancer.
Overview
Cooperates with p53/TP53 in the negative regulatory pathway of cell growth by modulating p53-dependent transcriptional activation. Implicated as a tumour suppressor gene.
Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.62 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes literature 0.95, genetic association 0.49, somatic mutation 0.73, genetic literature 0.61). IntOGen calls it a driver in 2 cohorts (0 activating, 2 loss-of-function), covering Colorectal Adenocarcinoma, Endometrial Carcinoma.

ING1 (Inhibitor of growth protein 1) is a gene whose normal job is to hold cell growth in check.

- 2 · What goes wrong in cancer
Cooperates with p53/TP53 in the negative regulatory pathway of cell growth by modulating p53-dependent transcriptional activation. Implicated as a tumour suppressor gene.
- 3 · How drugs use it
No product in this corpus aims at ING1 yet. Because the protein is lost rather than overactive, drugs either restore its function or exploit the weakness its loss leaves (synthetic lethality).

Notes
top- 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: IntOGen calls it a loss-of-function (LoF) driver in 2 cohorts. Evidence tier "cohort-driver" is the strongest of those signals.
- Prevalence not recorded: none of the sources gives a positivity rate.
