Another 35-gene signature stratified patients with NSCLC at stage 1A into distinct prognostic subgroups, and overexpression of the encoded proteins of 2 of the genes, TAL2 (T-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia 2) and ILF3 (interleukin enhancer binding factor 3), was detected in the tumors [73]. The gene discussed is TAL2; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
