They used qRT-PCR (quantitative real-time polymerase reaction) and Western blot to characterize the relative JMJD6 mRNA and protein expression, respectively, and found that the JMJD6 mRNA level was significantly elevated in lung adenocarcinoma tissues compared with the corresponding non-tumorous lung tissues. The gene discussed is JMJD6; the disease is lung adenocarcinoma.
