TTC28

Overview

TTC28 (Tetratricopeptide repeat domain 28) is located on chromosome 22 and has no well-characterised function in normal cellular biology. In cancer genomics, TTC28 has been identified as a site of clustered chromosomal breakpoints in small cell lung cancer (SCLC), suggesting it may be subject to recurrent inactivating translocations in this tumour type.

Alterations observed in the corpus

  • Clustered chromosomal breakpoints at the TTC28 locus on chromosome 22 detected by whole-genome sequencing of 110 SCLC tumours, producing inactivating translocations PMID:26168399
  • Source of recurrent somatic L1 retrotransposition in 28.2% of WGS cholangiocarcinoma tumors PMID:28667006

Cancer types (linked)

  • SCLC: recurrent clustered breakpoints identified by WGS; biological significance undefined PMID:26168399

Co-occurrence and mutual exclusivity

Therapeutic relevance

Open questions

  • The functional consequence of TTC28 inactivation in SCLC is unknown; no functional experiments were reported PMID:26168399
