| Gene Description | APOBEC3G, apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme catalytic subunit 3G, is a cytidine deaminase that induces C-to-U mutations in DNA, functioning in host defense against retroviruses and inhibits retrotransposons (PMID: 22001110). APOBEC3G expression correlates with poor prognosis in colon cancer patients with hepatic metastasis (PMID: 24753761), overexpression has been observed in uterine cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (PMID: 28590025), and overexpression in high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma has been associated with a favorable prognosis (PMID: 27016308). | ||||||||||
