Further observations revealed that ZNF217 mRNA and protein were overexpressed in primary prostate carcinoma versus normal prostate tissue (p < 0.05 and 14 out of 23 analyzed cases, respectively) [23] and in colorectal carcinoma tissues associated with poor clinicopathological features (p < 0.05) [52]. Here, ZNF217 is linked to colorectal carcinoma.
