Results of the SAGE brain anatomic viewer showed that most gene expression profiles of Znf179 were distributed among the cortex and cerebellum in normal brains (light-purple area in the left normal brain, Fig. 2B), while expression levels of Znf179 were lower in glioma tissues (light-blue area in grade I~III astrocytomas and glioblastomas in the right cancerous brain, Fig. 2B) compared to normal brains (light-purple area in the left normal brain, Fig. 2B). Here, RNF112 is linked to astrocytoma (excluding glioblastoma).
