<b> Cancer </b>

Syncytin-1 has been correlated to several different kinds of cancers including breast cancer, carcinomas, and endometrial cancers. As mentioned above, the env gene of syncytin-1 can become activated and promote the production of cancerous cells. Overexpression in syncytin-1 contributes to increased proliferation, metastasis, and the growth of tumors in individuals due to the methylation of DNA and the 5’LTR of the syncytin gene. The overmethylation contributes to the silencing of the tumor-suppressing gene. As a result, if both tumor suppressor genes in a cell contain a mutation, then the suppressor gene is deactivated. With the tumor suppressor gene losing function, cells may grow and divide unregulated, resulting in cancer.
