The data showed that the expression levels of these 3 target genes in NPC tumors were typically higher than those of their adjacent normal tissues [average final score (T : N), ROCK1 (7.10 : 4.14), VAV2 (5.81 : 3.33), WASL (7.52 : 5.05)] (Fig. 5e) (Supplementary Table 6). Here, ROCK1 is linked to nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
