There was zero discussion of the known functions of these genes in this paper, so it's difficult to say. (massgenomics.org)
The variant has been found in two men with prostate cancer, and in vitro analysis suggests it causes a partial loss of function of the gene. (science.sciencemag.org)
But such similarities are inherently intellectually sterile, unless the biological functions of the genes have been established for one or more of the species being compared. (fruitfly.org)
