Breast carcinoma-amplified sequence 1, BCAS1, Novel amplified in breast cancer 1, AIBC1
A novel gene, Novel Amplified in Breast Cancer-1 (NABC1), (aka Breast carcinoma-amplified sequence 1 (BCAS1)) is implicated in breast cancer development. Breast tumor lines that harbor amplification of the cancer-related amplicon 20q13.2 display high levels of the NABC1 protein compared to normal human fibroblasts or a breast cancer line that does not overexpress the NABC1 mRNA.
