No statistically significant correlation was found between S100A12 and the other S100s or HMGB1 in cells; however, correlations were observed between S100A12 and S100A4 (R = 0.64), S100A9 (R = 0.76), S100A10 (R = 0.51) and HMGB1 (R = 0.62) in the tumor array. The gene discussed is HMGB1; the disease is neoplasm.
