The results revealed that PLIN1 expression is shallow deleted in 21 human cancer types, of which 14 exhibited deletion of PLIN1 in more than 15% (66.7%, 14/21) of cases, 7 exhibited deletion in more than 20% (33.3%, 7/21) of cases and 3 exhibited deletion in more than 30% (14.3%, 3/21) of cases (Supplementary Figure 4A). This evidence concerns the gene PLIN1 and cancer.
