In addition, FABP5 was found to be expressed in 9 of 23 gliomas with moderate to strong cytoplasmic staining in Human Protein Atlas (HPA) database, and was reported to be expressed in grade II (19/30) and III (22/31) astrocytoma (a histologic subtype of glioma) (44). This evidence concerns the gene FABP5 and astrocytoma (excluding glioblastoma).
