Mimicking the results obtained for GC series 1 and 2, Dies1 expression was significantly downregulated in samples from GC series 3 and GIST samples, in comparison with normal mucosas (GC series 3: p = 1.60E-03; GIST: p = 3.40E-03, Fig. 5b). The gene discussed is VSIR; the disease is gastrointestinal stromal tumor.
