NFYA and cancer: The data confirm and extend to LUAD three types of results: the high frequency of CCAAT boxes in promoters of genes globally overexpressed in cancer; the increased expression of the NF-YA “short” subunit in most, but not all tumors and concomitant decrease of NF-YAl; the worse clinical outcome of tumors with high, as well as low NF-YAs/NF-YAl ratios.
