Clinically-Relevant Mutations and Pathophysiology Comments
Human missense SNP P432L (rs148692008; dbSNP) has been identified as associated with melanoma by whole exome sequencing, but remains untested [4].

Methylation of the GPR101 gene promoter in stage IV colorectal cancer is correlated with longer time to progression. Tumour specific hypermethylation observed [2].
