Multiple databases, including The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Human Protein Atlas (HPA) and Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) were used to explore the mRNA expression levels of ITPRIPL1 in tumor and normal tissues (Weinstein et al., 2013; Carithers et al., 2015; GTEx Consortium, 2020; Sjöstedt et al., 2020). The gene discussed is ITPRIPL1; the disease is cancer.
