Real-time PCR performed on laser capture microdissected sections showed lower ZYX mRNA expression in tumor cells of the whole NSCLC group (p < 0.0001), of the SCC subtype (p < 0.0001), and of the AC subtype (p < 0.0001) compared with non-malignant lung cells (NMLC) (Figure 7D–F). The gene discussed is ZYX; the disease is neoplasm.
