NFYA and gastric cancer: As for gastric cancer, two studies provide evidence for a specific function of NF-YA: microarray-based differentially expressed genes (DEG) of gastric cancer identified NF-YA as a key TF, specifically in the DF subtype, with prognostic significance30; NF-YA inactivation has a more profound growth suppressive effect in a DF than in a IT cell line.
