The COSMIC database further showed a high proportion of TLR4 non-synonymous mutations in cutaneous melanoma (60/988, 6.1%), lung adenocarcinoma (22/477, 4.6%), stomach adenocarcinoma (26/579, 4.5%) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (17/497, 3.4%, Fig 2A and S4 Table). This evidence concerns the gene TLR4 and squamous cell lung carcinoma.
