For the role of AKIP1 in gastric cancer, just one literature shows that AKIP1 promotes cell proliferation, migration, invasion via inducing Slug‐mediated epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) and correlates with poor prognosis in gastric cancer, whereas the small sample size of 96 patients limits its value in clinical settings.11 The gene discussed is SNAI2; the disease is gastric cancer.
