PARD3 expression was rather diverse in GBM samples when compared to non-tumor tissue, including patients with very high PARD3 levels and others with rather low levels; yet, the median value of expression appeared lower in GBM relative to non-tumoral samples (considering, however, the limited number of non-tumoral samples included in TCGA) (Fig. 1a). The gene discussed is PARD3; the disease is glioblastoma.
