However, unlike in previous studies performed on breast, lung, astrocytoma and colorectal cancers (Al Haddad et al., 2020; Basak et al., 2018; El-Sitt et al., 2012; Hanna et al., 2014a; Khalil et al., 2014; Nasrallah et al., 2014), where StarD13 was found to be necessary for cell migration, it had no effect on the 2D motility in ovarian cancer cells. This evidence concerns the gene STARD13 and colorectal cancer.
