Moreover, analyzing mRNA and protein levels of PD-L1 in the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and internal database (Guangdong Lung Cancer Institute; GLCI), lower PD-L1 mRNA and PD-L1 protein expression were detected in the EGFR mutated NSCLC samples compared with the wild-type tumor samples [34]. The gene discussed is EGFR; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
