More strikingly, among these possible target genes within 3q26–q29 regions, EPHB3 (3q27.1), and MASP1 and SST (3q27.3) showed high-level amplifications, in more than three patients each in SCC, implicating that these genes may be major potential targets for characterization of NSCLC histologic subtypes. Here, SST is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
