Answer #1

STAG2 gene codes for a multimeric cohesion complex, which is required for regulating sister chromatid separation during mitosis. Inactivation of STAG2 will result in an increased number of abnormal mitotic events while mutational correction of STAG2 mutations enhanced the chromosomal stability.

Inactivating mutations in the STAG2 gene have been reported in low frequency in several cancers. which were found by nonsense, frameshift and splicing techniques and in few cases missense mutations of unknown significance were also identified. Inactivate the STAG2 mutation also results in low tumor frequency.

In a few cancer cases, next-generation sequencing was also used for screening the mutation in the STAG2 gene by the scientist, but no mutations were reported.
