Furthermore, survival was significantly longer for patients with high ARID1A expression in normal epithelium (p-value = 0.018) which is also in concordance with published data showing that the maintenance of ARID1A expression is associated with a good prognosis, whereas its loss is associated with a poor prognosis and is linked with advanced GC [24, 34–36]. Here, ARID1A is linked to gastric cancer.
