CLIP1 and gastric cancer: Evaluation of the expression of MYOF and these correlating genes in gastric cancer and normal gastric tissues in the TCGA-STAD database showed that the levels of MYOF (P<0.001), ANXA2 (P<0.01), LEPROT (P<0.01) and ITPRIPL2 (P<0.001) mRNAs were significantly higher, and the levels of AHNAK mRNA significantly lower (P<0.01) in gastric cancer than in normal gastric tissue samples, but that there was no difference in CLIP1 mRNA levels (P>0.05; Figure 1E).
