GFPT1 and neoplasm: We found that the GFAT1 mRNA expression was increased in tumor tissues in GSE3654 (P = 0.045), GSE16515 (P < 0.001), GSE28735 (P = 0.013) and E-MEXP-950 (P = 0.026) datasets (Fig. 1a,b,d,e), while no statistically significant increment of GFAT1 mRNA levels was observed in the tumor tissues from TCGA and GSE39751 dataset (Fig. 1c,f).
