Two studies[29,30] demonstrated a significant 1.5-fold and 1.3-fold increase in La mRNA expression in large cell lung carcinoma (LCLC) and squamous cell lung carcinoma (SCC), respectively (Figure 1A (part I)) and 1.2-fold increase in lung adenocarcinoma (AC) compared to normal lung samples (Figure 1A (part II)). The gene discussed is SSB; the disease is lung large cell carcinoma.
