Seventy pairs of matched tissues (tumor vs. adjacent normal) were analyzed by IHC, and Daxx expression was scored as positive in 53 GC tissues (75.7% of the total), but only 32 adjacent normal tissues (45.7% of the total) showed positive expression (P < 0.001 by paired t‐test) (Fig. 3B). This evidence concerns the gene DAXX and neoplasm.
