IGF2BP1 was demonstrated as significantly increased in BC tissues (n = 1109) compared to that of normal tissues (n = 113) (P < 0.001, Fig. 8A), and its level was also higher compared with normal breast samples (n = 179) from the GTEX databases (P < 0.001, Fig. 8B). This evidence concerns the gene IGF2BP1 and breast cancer.
