Long et al. identified 14 core genes (PKMYT1, TTK, CHEK1, CDC20, PTTG1, MCM2, CDC25C, MCM4, CCNB1, CDC45, MAD2L1, CCNB2, BUB1, and CCNA2) that are important for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) by bioinformatics analysis and may be potential therapeutic targets [22]. Here, CHEK1 is linked to lung adenocarcinoma.
