TRPM7 is also associated with bladder cancer, such that TRPM7 mRNA and protein expression are higher in bladder tumor tissue compared to adjacent non-tumoral tissue, and elevated TRPM7 expression correlates with recurrence, metastasis and a poorer prognosis for this disease (Gao et al., 2017). The gene discussed is TRPM7; the disease is urinary bladder carcinoma.
