EIF4G1 and cancer: Our results showed that mRNA level of EIF4G1 in primary tumor was universally high compared to normal tissue of bladder (p = 3.09E−07), breast (p = 1.62E−12), cervix (p = 1.27E−2), cholangiocarcinoma (p = 3.67E−08), colon (p = 3.99E−14), esophagus (p = 8.24E−05), glioblastoma (p = 3.80E−03), head and neck (p = 1.62E−12), kidney renal papillary cell (p = 1.35E−04), liver (p = 1.62E−12), lung (p = 1.62E−12), rectum (p = 1.12E−03), stomach (p = 2.43E−12), thyroid (p = 4.01E−04) and endometrial (p < 1E−12) cancer (Fig. 2a–o).
