The steady-state levels of these seven transcripts were assessed in two SORBS2-knockdown ovarian cancer cell lines and we identified the mRNAs of two genes, WFDC1 and IL-17D, as exhibiting reduced steady-state levels upon SORBS2 knockdown in both cell lines (Additional file 2: Figure S10a, b). The gene discussed is IL17D; the disease is ovarian carcinoma.
