We also examined the relationship between TINCR and EGFR protein expression in 120 breast-cancer samples from HMUCC, and the results showed that the EGFR level was higher in TINCR high-expression tissues than in TINCR low-expression tissues (Fig. 4c, Supplementary Fig.S3, and Supplementary Table S4). The gene discussed is EGFR; the disease is breast cancer.
