“…Specifically, in MM, an extremely serious hematological malignancy, DIS3 was identified as one of the most significantly mutated genes, which also included K-Ras, N-Ras, p53, BRAF, TRAF3, and FAM46C. DIS3 mutations and altered expression have been reported in approximately 10% of patients with MM 223 , 224 , 233 . More strikingly, deletions of another posttranscriptional modulator, FAM46C, a noncanonical poly(A) polymerase, have been observed in ~20% of MM patients 234 .…”
