We compared the expression levels of DESI1 between normal (GTEx data) and cancer tissues and investigated the association of its levels with the prognosis of patients with cancer using the Cancer Genome Atlas datasets via UCSC Xena (https://xena.ucsc.edu) because defects in cell division cause cancer development and malignant progression (Figures 7 and S4). This evidence concerns the gene DESI1 and cancer.
