In addition, we found that miR-629-5p expression levels were significantly higher in primary and metastatic ccRCC tumors compared to normal tissues (Additional file 1: Fig. S16B), were inversely correlated with NEDD4L levels (Fig. 5G), and were associated with poor OS and DSS in patients with ccRCC (Additional file 1: Fig. S17). The gene discussed is NEDD4L; the disease is nonpapillary renal cell carcinoma.
