Summary
BCAS1 (brain enriched myelin associated protein 1, HGNC:974) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 20q13.2, encoding Breast carcinoma-amplified sequence 1 (O75363). Required for myelination.
This gene resides in a region at 20q13 which is amplified in a variety of tumor types and associated with more aggressive tumor phenotypes. Among the genes identified from this region, it was found to be highly expressed in three amplified breast cancer cell lines and in one breast tumor without amplification at 20q13.2. However, this gene is not in the common region of maximal amplification and its expression was not detected in the breast cancer cell line MCF7, in which this region is highly amplified. Although not consistently expressed, this gene is a candidate oncogene.

Functional genomics
gnomAD constraint: pLI 6.84e-10, LOEUF 0.855, missense Z 0.131 — population loss-of-function intolerance (pLI ≥ 0.9 = LoF-intolerant; lower LOEUF = more constrained). gnomAD
Regional missense constraint (gnomAD RMC): no regional variation along ENST00000688948 — one region, missense o/e 1.03.
