In contrast, decreased SLC31A1 mRNA expression levels were observed in cholangiocarcinoma (CHOL), kidney chromophobe (KIRC), kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRP), liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC), lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), prostate adenocarcinoma (PRAD), thyroid carcinoma (THCA) tumor tissues (P < 0.001). This evidence concerns the gene SLC31A1 and chromophobe renal cell carcinoma.
