ECM1 and neoplasm: An analysis of the correlation between the expression of FAL1 and that of the neighbouring genes was performed, and the results showed that the expression of threonyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial (TARS2), ECM1, ADAMTSL4, etc., in most tumours wherein FAL1 expression was observed was positively correlated with FAL1 expression (Figure 1B).
