The levels of ACLY mRNA in cancer and non-cancer tissues were determined as 104.4±100.9 and 104.9±100.6 copies/μg total RNA, respectively, while the levels of FASN mRNA in cancer and non-cancer tissues were determined as 104.8±100.8 and 105.1±100.5 copies/μg total RNA, respectively. The gene discussed is ACLY; the disease is cancer.
