We consulted the RNA-seq datasets of the TCGA database and noticed CNOT3 expression was positively correlated with the expression of some ErbB family of receptor tyrosine kinases such as EGFR, ErbB-2 (neu, HER2) and ErbB-3 (HER3) in lung adenocarcinoma (Supplementary Fig. 1A, B, C). The gene discussed is ERBB3; the disease is lung adenocarcinoma.
