DNASE1 and cancer: We further analyzed DNASE1 expression across 17 cancers obtained from TIMER using GEPIA and found that DNASE1 was overexpressed in CHOL (num(T)=36; num(N)=9), and kidney chromophore (KICH) (num(T)=66; num(N)=53), compared to normal samples, whereas DNASE1 was under-expressed in two cancers, including KIRC (num(T)=523; num(N)=100) and KIRP (num(T)=286; num(N)=60) (Figure 1B).
