Our results suggested that SLC39A1, SLC39A3, SLC39A4, SLC39A5, SLC39A6, SLC39A7, SLC39A9, SLC39A10, SLC39A11 and SLC39A13 were significantly higher in cancer tissue than which in normal tissue, whereas, SLC39A8 and SLC39A14 expressed higher in normal tissue. The gene discussed is SLC39A11; the disease is cancer.
