Higher HBXIP expression in NSCLC compared to that observed in matched normal thyroid tissues (Supplementary Figure S1A) was significantly correlated with sex (P = 0.033), N stage (P = 0.002), and tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage (P = 0.008) but was independent of other factors, including age, smoking, type of resection, histological subtype, and T stage (Table 1). The gene discussed is LAMTOR5; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
