We initially detected the expression of FOXM1 and Linc-ROR in HNSCC and adjacent normal tissues from 34 HNSCC patients via RT-qPCR, with the results revealing that Linc-ROR and FOXM1 were highly expressed in HNSCC tissues when compared to that of the adjacent normal tissues (Figures 1C). The gene discussed is FOXM1; the disease is head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
