LGALS9 and nonpapillary renal cell carcinoma: Each polymorphism in the TIM-3 and LGALS9 genes were in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) in the control group; however, in the ccRCC group, we observed deviation from HWE for rs4794976 (LGALS9), with an overrepresentation of GG homozygotes (f = 0.13, p = 0.046).
