It has also been demonstrated that BARX2 expression in a variety of tumour cells is negatively correlated with the biological behaviour of tumours, such as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and uveal melanoma; however, expression in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) was positively correlated with tumour biological behaviour (Fig. 10A). Here, BARX2 is linked to lung adenocarcinoma.
