In fact, their associations (SCARB1 most in all investigated 33 cancers, followed by NRP1 in 31 cancers, TMPRSS2 in 27 cancers, AXL in 25 cancers and ACE2 in 13 cancers) appeared in more cancer types than those of CNVs with the same trends among the five STGs. This evidence concerns the gene TMPRSS2 and cancer.
