The proportion of TAZ and YAP positive tumours we observed using Allred’s scoring method, 56% and 64%, respectively, was similar to the 60% reported for total combined TAZ/YAP expression in conventional human OSA, and to the 67% reported for nuclear TAZ expression in high grade human OSA [23, 24]. This evidence concerns the gene WWTR1 and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
