BCORL1 (BCL-6 corepressor-like protein 1) is a gene whose normal job is to hold cell growth in check. The public catalogues list it as a tumour suppressor, and it is called a cancer driver by mutation analysis of patient cohorts. Tied to Colorectal cancer, Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, Skin cancer and 4 more.
Transcriptional corepressor. May specifically inhibit gene expression when recruited to promoter regions by sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins such as BCL6. This repression may be mediated at least in part by histone deacetylase activities which can associate with this corepressor.
Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.70 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes literature 0.81, animal model 0.40, genetic association 0.00, somatic mutation 0.90). IntOGen calls it a driver in 6 cohorts (0 activating, 6 loss-of-function), covering Acute Myeloid Leukaemia, Colorectal Adenocarcinoma, High-Grade Glioma, NOS, Neuroblastoma, Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma.

No product in this corpus aims at BCORL1 yet. Because the protein is lost rather than overactive, drugs either restore its function or exploit the weakness its loss leaves (synthetic lethality).
