Analysis of data from multiple cancer types in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) databases revealed co-expression of Gal-9 with interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs; Fig. 7l, Supplementary Fig. 9), suggesting that Gal-9 is similarly regulated by interferon signaling in human cancers. The gene discussed is LGALS9; the disease is cancer.
