Link between ICAM1 gene and breast cancer metastasis reported in published study
June 23rd, 2005
Researchers reported findings that indicate the involvement of the intercellular adhesion molecule gene, ICAM1, in breast cancer metastasis. This is the first study to report that ICAM1 likely plays a major role in the invasion of cancerous cells and in the growth and metastasis of breast tumors, as announced by Sequenom (SQNM). Published in a recent issue of Carcinogenesis, the study entitled "Role of ICAM1 in Invasion of Human Breast Cancer Cells" reports that these results corroborate Sequenom's previous finding that genetic variations in the ICAM gene region are associated with the occurrence of metastases and establish a causal role of...
