We further assessed the association between USP35 and RRBP1 expression and the survival of lung cancer patients using Kaplan–Meier Plotter database (http://kmplot.com) and found that high expression of USP35 or RRBP1 was associated with shorter overall survival in lung adenocarcinoma patients (Fig. 7D,E). The gene discussed is USP35; the disease is lung cancer.
