Our results demonstrated that the median mRNA expression of anti-apoptotic members (Bcl-2, Mcl-1, Bcl-xL) was lower in cancer than normal tissues, while the expression of pro-apoptotic members (Bid, Bim, Bax, Bak) prevailed in cancer tissues, compared to normal tissues (Figure 7A). The gene discussed is BCL2L11; the disease is cancer.
