We found that ADAMTSL5, ADAMTSL1, ADAMTS19, ADAMTS3, ADAMTS8, ADAMTS16, ADAMTS15, ADAMTS17, ADAMTSL2, and ADAMTS6 were low expressed in ccRCC and ADAMTS12, ADAMTS4, ADAMTS2, ADAMTS18, ADAMTS7, ADAMTS20, ADAMTS10, ADAMTS9, ADAMTSL4, ADAMTS14, ADAMTS5, and ADAMTS13 were highly expressed in ccRCC. Here, ADAMTS12 is linked to nonpapillary renal cell carcinoma.
