TRPC4AP

Overview

TRPC4AP encodes transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily C member 4-associated protein, which interacts with MYCN and has been implicated in ubiquitin-mediated protein regulation. Its role in cancer is not well established, but recurrent expressed mutations in rhabdomyosarcoma suggest it may be a candidate driver in pediatric sarcomas.

Alterations observed in the corpus

  • Recurrently expressed mutations (2 cases) in a comprehensive rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) genomic analysis; interacts with MYCN; flagged as a candidate target requiring functional validation PMID:24436047

Co-occurrence and mutual exclusivity

Therapeutic relevance

  • MYCN interaction raises potential relevance to MYCN-driven oncogenesis in RMS; no direct therapeutic targeting reported in this corpus.

Open questions

  • Whether TRPC4AP mutations are drivers or passengers in RMS requires functional validation.
