This is also consistent with the results of studies in cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, choroidal melanoma, clear cell renal cell carcinoma, non-small-cell lung cancer and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, showing that loss of LUCAT1 hinders cell proliferation15,17,20,39,41–43. The gene discussed is LUCAT1; the disease is esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
