In DNAss database, we found that tumor stemness was negatively correlated with the expressions of IGLC1 (r = -0.14, P = 0.02), IGLC2 (r = -0.13, P = 0.02), IGLC3 (r = -0.13, P = 0.02), and IGLC7 (r = -0.14, P = 0.01) respectively in CESC tissues (Fig. 5A). This evidence concerns the gene IGLC3 and neoplasm.
