The effect of golgin-97 gene expression on survival of four human cancer types was analyzed according to the Kaplan-Meier Plotter database (http://kmplot.com/analysis/), and Fig. 1a shows that low expression of golgin-97 positively correlated with a poorer overall survival in breast (n = 1083), lung (n = 828) and ovarian (n = 1656) cancer patients. This evidence concerns the gene GOLGA1 and cancer.
