We discovered that BRD4 expression was higher in tissues from patients with breast cancer (BRCA), colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), esophageal cancer (ESCA), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), kidney chromophobe (KICH), lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUAD), rectal adenocarcinoma (READ), stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD), sarcoma (SARC), and skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) than in tissues from healthy subjects (Fig. 1a). Here, BRD4 is linked to invasive breast carcinoma.
