Six of these proteins had a higher abundance in cancer patients than in healthy controls (RNF213/ring finger protein 213; CTSG/cathepsin G; PGLYRP1/peptidoglycan recognition protein 1; RPL8/ribosomal protein L8; S100A8/S100 calcium binding protein A8; S100A9/S100 calcium binding protein A9). The gene discussed is S100A9; the disease is cancer.
