Additionally, expression change of ADAR1 is associated with diseases, e.g. its increased expression in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (Wu et al. 2021) and glioblastoma (Tassinari et al. 2021), and decreased expression in leukemia (Ma et al. 2011) (https://ngdc.cncb.ac.cn/edk/enzyme/ADAR1/). This evidence concerns the gene ADAR and leukemia.
