CTDNEP1 gene influences pancreatic cancer progression

Caption

TUS researchers uncovered a strong link between reduced CTDNEP1 expression and pancreatic cancer progression. They found that low levels are associated with early-stage tumors, abnormalities in major cancer-related genes, and lower survival rates, suggesting that CTDNEP1 may act as a tumor suppressor.
