Human‐specific polymorphic pseudogenization of SIGLEC12 protects against advanced cancer progression
Compared with our closest living evolutionary cousins, humans appear unusually prone to develop carcinomas (cancers arising from epithelia). The SIGLEC12 gene, which encodes the Siglec‐XII protein expressed on epithelial cells, has several uniquely human features: a fixed homozygous missense mutatio...
