We also searched information with the aid of bioinformatics, results from ‘The Cancer Genome Atlas’ (TCGA) showed that a RNA-Seq screening containing 423 samples showed that the relative expression of SYNJ2BP in HCC tissues is obviously lower than that of peritumoral tissues (PTs) (Supplementary), which is in accordance to our verification. Here, SYNJ2BP is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
