Accordingly, SLC12A5 was highly expressed in 17 out of 24 TWIST1 strong tumor tissue samples, and in 5 out of 18 tumor tissue samples with weak TWIST1 expression; ZFHX4 was highly expressed in 19 out of 24 TWIST1 strong tumor tissues, and in 6 out of 18 tumor tissue samples with weak TWIST1 (Fig. 2n). This evidence concerns the gene TWIST1 and neoplasm.
