However, DFNA5 expression was significantly higher in LIHC (liver hepatocellular carcinoma), CHOL (cholangiocarcinoma), HNSC (head and neck cancer), LUSC (lung squamous cell carcinoma), STAD (stomach adenocarcinoma) and THCA (thyroid carcinoma) than in adjacent normal tissues. This evidence concerns the gene GSDME and gastric adenocarcinoma.
