NSCLC Mutated Isoforms of CCDC6 Affect the Intracellular Distribution of the Wild Type Protein Promoting Cisplatinum Resistance and PARP Inhibitors Sensitivity in Lung Cancer Cells.

CCDC6 is implicated in cell cycle checkpoints and DNA damage repair by homologous recombination (HR). In NSCLC, CCDC6 is barely expressed in about 30% of patients and CCDC6 gene rearrangements with RET and ROS kinases are detected in about 1% of patients. Recently, CCDC6 point-mutations naming E227K, S351Y, N394Y, and T462A have been identified in primary NSCLC.
