FAT3 (Protocadherin Fat 3) is a gene that drives cell growth when it is altered. The public catalogues list it as an oncogene driver and a tumour suppressor, and it is called a cancer driver by mutation analysis of patient cohorts. Tied to Breast cancer, Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, Renal cell carcinoma and 5 more.
May play a role in the interactions between neurites derived from specific subsets of neurons during development.
IntOGen calls it a driver in 29 cohorts (22 activating, 7 loss-of-function), covering Angiosarcoma, Invasive Breast Carcinoma, Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma, Cholangiocarcinoma, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma, Colon Adenocarcinoma and others.
