MAGEA4 MAGE family member A4
ENSG00000147381 · protein coding · Open Targets profile
Regulates cell proliferation through the inhibition of cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase (PubMed:22842486). Also negatively regulates p53-mediated apoptosis (PubMed:22842486). .
Each row is a cancer, strongest overall evidence first. The two dots show how strong the inherited (germline) and tumour-mutation (somatic) evidence is; the line between them is the gap.
Scores run from 0 (no evidence) to 1 (strongest). A missing dot at 0 means Open Targets holds no evidence of that kind. Source: Open Targets Platform, fetched live.

gnomAD loss of function constraint: o/e 0.07280199974775314 (upper bound 0.34536001086235046). Low values mean loss of function is poorly tolerated, a safety flag for inhibition.
Who runs trials of these drugs
Principal investigators and study chairs on 2 registry trials, updated in the last three years, of the most advanced drugs against MAGEA4 (afamitresgene autoleucel), ranked by Phase 2+ trials. Live from ClinicalTrials.gov.

Registry trials of afamitresgene autoleucel updated in the last three years, counted by the country group of their listed sites. A trial with sites in several groups counts in each; 1 of 2 have all sites in one country.
Site counts are not patients per country, and trials registered only outside ClinicalTrials.gov are not covered. Where sites are is a fact about the record, not a judgement of its quality. Europe is the EU and EEA, the UK and Switzerland. Source: ClinicalTrials.gov, fetched live.
No terminated, withdrawn or suspended trials of MAGEA4's drugs are registered
