We continue to investigate molecular signatures linked to lung cancer, with a current focus on GCM1, a transcription factor involved in placental development and potentially significant in lung cancer biology. The GCM1 gene encodes a protein with a gcm-motif, playing a central role in DNA-binding and regulating placental-specific genes. While its primary function is in placental biology, emerging evidence suggests GCM1 mutations are implicated in various cancers, including lung adenocarcinoma (ADC).
