As a result, three SLC39A genes (SLC39A1, SLC39A4, and SLC39A8) were found to be significantly dysregulated in specific cancers, including cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma (CESC), liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC), pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD), and kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP). This evidence concerns the gene SLC39A4 and endocervical adenocarcinoma.
