HLA-E specific mRNA transcripts, though, were detectable in both normal renal parenchyma and tissues of RCC in all samples (Table 3), and there was no correlation between HLA-E mRNA transcripts in RCC tissue and normal renal parenchyma (p = 0.82 for paired samples, p = 0.14 for non-paired samples). The gene discussed is HLA-E; the disease is renal cell carcinoma.
