    3. Therefore, USF3 may be involved in the predisposition of thyroid cancer. Importantly, the results that glutamine-dependent survival and sensitivity to ER stress in USF3-deficient cells provide avenues for therapeutic and adjunct preventive interventions for both sporadic cancer as well as cancer predisposition syndromes with similar mechanisms.

    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.
