TSPOAP1 and prostate carcinoma: Tan, Jin & Wang (2017) analyzed the potential biomarkers for prostate cancer by integrated bioinformatics analysis and identified BZRAP1-AS1 as a novel biomarker. In addition, another study (Yin, Chang & Xu, 2017) showed the vital role of the G2/M checkpoint in early hepatocellular carcinoma indicating the potential prognostic and diagnostic importance of the genes involved in the checkpoint. Similar studies have been conducted for GC as well. Sun et al. (2017) have found the core genes involved in GC by bioinformatics analysis.
