بیان ژن HK3 در سرطان فولیکولارتیروئید تشدید میشود و از آنزیم HK3، در کنارسایکلین A وگالکتین-۳ میتوان بهعنوان بیومارکر تشخیصی، جهت غربالگری بدخیمی در بیماران استفاده نمود.[۷][۸]
این ژن بالعکس در سلولهای بلاست سرطانAML و همچنین لوسمی پرومیلوسیتیک حاد تضعیف میگردد. در سرطانALL نیز ثابت شدهاست که HK3 در کنارHK2 وHK1، خواص ضدآپوپتوزی دارد.[۷]
