We show that suppression of MHF1 expression results in (1) destabilization of FANCM and MHF2, (2) impairment of DNA damage-induced monoubiquitination and foci formation of FANCD2, (3) defective chromatin localization of FA nuclear core complex proteins, (4) elevated MMC-induced chromosome aberrations, and (5) sensitivity to MMC and camptothecin.
These results indicate that APITD1 is not the tumor suppressor gene on 1p36 responsible for the negative prognostic effect in uveal melanoma with concurrent loss of chromosome arm 1p, region 36, and chromosome 3.

Automated genomic DNA sequencing of the coding region of the gene as well as the promoter sequence in 44 neuroblastoma tumours did not reveal any loss-of-function mutations, indicating that mutations in APITD1 is not a common abnormality of neuroblastoma tumours.
