ERFE and cancer: For instance, analyzing the most recent TCGA multidimensional omics data revealed that multiple iron-related genes (e.g., scavenger receptor class A member 5 (SCARA5), erythroferrone (ERFE), lipocalin 2, transferrin receptor 2 (TFR2), solute carrier family 11 member 1 (SLC11A1), and cytochrome B reductase 1 (CYBRD1)) were dysregulated in different cancers, and this outcomes may be associated with aberrant DNA methylation112.
