1. A method for ascertaining the propensity of a cell for malignant phenotype, said cell being isolated or in a biological sample, said method comprising assaying the cell or biological sample for a signal indicating the transcription of a nucleic acid transcript, said transcript corresponding to at least one nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of CINN 1 (SEQ ID NO.:
- 8), OP11 C1-3 (SEQ ID NO.;
4), FAS OP17 (SEQ ID NO.;
