The results from sixty paired samples showed that both of these two EMX1 transcripts were highly expressed in HCC tumor tissue compared to ANLT (Fig. 2E lower panel and Supplementary Fig. S2F), and displayed a high similarity of expression patterns (r = 0.95, P < 0.0001; Supplementary Fig. S2E). The gene discussed is EMX1; the disease is hepatocellular carcinoma.
