Title: Association between KIF1B rs17401966 genetic polymorphism and hepatocellular carcinoma susceptibility: an updated meta-analysis.
In conclusion, using a panel including 17 susceptibility genes, we documented the presence of somatic mutations in over 50% of pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGL). We confirmed the high frequency of NF1 somatic mutations and identified KIF1B as the second most frequently mutated gene in PPGL tissues.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
