Studies indicate that mutations in tumor suppressor genes occur early in the process of carcinogenesis, and that these mutations are correlated with a subsequent development of cancer. The detection of such alterations would provide useful molecular markers for diagnosis, surveillance, early tumor identification and intervention, and prognosis. A novel human gene, designated as "Zsig62", resides within a region of chromosome 16q that is associated with prostate and breast cancer, and that appears to contain tumor suppressor genes. Like a tumor suppressor gene, the Zsig62 gene is expressed in particular normal tissues, but not in tumors derived from those tissues.

Des études ont démontré que les mutations de gènes suppresseurs de tumeurs se produisent à un stade précoce du processus de carcinogenèse, et que ces mutations sont corrélées à un développement ultérieur du cancer. La détection de telles modifications devrait permettre de disposer de marqueurs moléculaires utiles au diagnostic, à la surveillance, à l'identification et à l'intervention à un stade précoce et à l'établissement d'un pronostic. Un nouveau gène humain, dénommé "Zsig62", est localisé dans une région du chromosome 16q qui est associée au cancer du sein et de la prostate, et qui semble contenir des gènes suppresseurs de tumeurs. De même qu'un gène suppresseur de tumeur, le gène Zsig62 est exprimé dans des tissus normaux particuliers mais pas dans les tumeurs dérivées de ces tissus.
