TLK2 expression was upregulated in bladder urothelial carcinoma (BLCA), breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA), cholangiocarcinoma (CHOL), esophageal carcinoma (ESCA), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), LIHC, lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), and stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD), while it was downregulated in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), kidney chromophobe (KICH), kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), thyroid carcinoma (THCA), and uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC) (Figure 1A). This evidence concerns the gene TLK2 and lung adenocarcinoma.
