In a study of the function of LMO1 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), Zhang et al found that LMO1 was significantly over-expressed in NSCLC specimens relative to normal adjacent tissue, and that over-expression of LMO1 in NSCLC cells promoted cell proliferation, supporting an oncogenic function in NSCLC [15]. Here, LMO1 is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
