The meta-analysis of the gene expression profile of about 950 cancer cell lines stored in the Gene Expression Atlas at the EMBL-EBI database (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/gxa/gene/ENSG00000173391#) revealed that OLR1 is specifically upregulated in 57% of bladder and cervix cancer cells, 11% of mammary gland cancer cells, 10% of lung cancer cells and in 20% of colorectal cancer (CRC) cells. The gene discussed is OLR1; the disease is colorectal cancer.
