GJA1 and endometrial carcinoma: Schlemmer et al. [14] analyzed paraffin-embedded uterine sections from hysterectomy specimens of patients with normal endometrium and from patients diagnosed with grade-one, -two, and -three endometrial cancer and found an inverse correlation between Cx43 expression and tumor grade, which indicated that Cx43 expression may be useful as an adjunctive marker of progression for endometrial carcinoma.
