It has been reported that BAP31 is increased in multiple cancers [10], including colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC), brain lower grade glioma (LGG), etc., which is corroborated by data of different cohorts from TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas) database (Supplementary Fig. S1A). This evidence concerns the gene BCAP31 and colon adenocarcinoma.
