NME6 and cancer: We compared the NME6 expression between cancerous and normal colon tissues, and found the same higher expression in cancer tissues from the Chinese population (P = 0.017; CRC tissues: 585.8 ± 29.3 RPKM, normal colon tissue: 482.2 ± 25.6 RPKM), and the Japanese population (P = 0.013; CRC tissues: 973.6 ± 79.9 RPKM, normal colon tissue: 771.4 ± 31.0 RPKM).
