TMPRSS11D and non-small cell lung carcinoma: For example, our data showed that male NSCLC patients had poor overall survival than female NSCLC patients, currently, we do not know whether this reflects the biology of NSCLC or this is due to sample selection bias; IHC data are semi-quantitative, therefore, our results should be validated using alternative methods; we did not determine the expression of other HAT/DESC subfamily members in NSCLC, though it has been reported that these genes are coordinately expressed and may be functionally redundant.
