Dysregulation of IEG expression is associated with various diseases. For instance:
Cancer: Abnormal IEG expression can contribute to uncontrolled cell proliferation and tumor development. Neurodegenerative diseases: Altered IEG activity is implicated in conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Cardiovascular diseases: IEGs can influence heart muscle cell responses to injury and stress, impacting diseases like heart failure.
