DMD and neoplasm: Although we showed that the results of comparing DMD expression between TCGA tumors and their corresponding NATs were consistent with those of comparing DMD expression between TCGA tumors and healthy GTEx tissues in 11 out of 13 comparisons, the unique transcriptomic profile of NATs might explain why thyroid NATs and kidney NATs from three different kidney TCGA tumors clustered with tumor tissues in the third cluster.
