"The involvement of PTEN in human mammary oncogenesis has been implicated from studies showing that germline PTEN mutation in Cowden disease predisposes to breast cancer, the frequent loss of heterozygosity at the PTEN locus, and reduced PTEN protein levels in sporadic breast cancers."

"Interestingly, we found that mutation of the PTEN Tyr 155 residue significantly increased the association of WWP2 with PTEN, followed by enhanced polyubiquitylation and reduced PTEN protein levels (XREF_FIG), indicating that some yet-to-be-identified tyrosine kinases may be involved in the regulation of the WWP2-PTEN interaction."
