Similarly, while Mhawech-Fauceglia et al. (2012) [58] noted a high percentage of uterine papillary serous and EEC cases with expression of the tight junction protein claudin-7 and the cytoskeletal protein moesin, no association existed between these proteins and overall or disease-free survival. This evidence concerns the gene CLDN7 and exstrophy-epispadias complex.
