TCEAL7 and gastric neoplasm: Consistent with the quantitative real-time PCR results, a decrease in TCEAL7 expression was observed in 28 (71.8%) of the gastric tumor tissues compared with matched adjacent non-tumor tissues (P = 0.012, Figure 3), whereas there were only 6 (15.4%) noncancerous tissue samples' TCEAL7 expression were lower than matched tumor tissue samples.
