Unlike the pattern of PRKCSH mRNA expression in various cancer types, IGF1R mRNA levels were upregulated only in LUAD, LUSC, and THYM tissues compared normal tissues (Fig. 8a and Supplementary Fig. 9a), whereas its expression was downregulated in DLBC and was not different in GBM, ESCA, LIHC, PAAD, STAD, and SKCM compared to the corresponding normal tissues (Supplementary Fig. 9a). This evidence concerns the gene IGF1R and cancer.
