To gain insight into the potential function of SDC-2 in vivo, we quantitatively analyzed its mRNA expression in bulk pancreatic tissues from healthy donors (normal pancreas, NP, n = 20), from chronic pancreatitis patients (CP, n = 20) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC, Table 1. Here, SDC2 is linked to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
