is not reported. This gene has no known product and may play a role in tumor suppression.
Mutation of this locus is associated with breast cancer.;
NCIt note : This tumor suppressor activity of this gene has been studied most closely in breast
cancers. Further, somatic deletions in hereditary breast cancers implicate 13q21 as
a putative novel breast cancer susceptibility locus.;
