Analysis of OSMR transcript expression in all tumor types and corresponding healthy tissues in the TCGA database (Figure 2A) showed OSMR transcripts are significantly more expressed in tumors than the paired normal tissues in esophageal carcinoma (ESCA), glioblastoma multiform (GBM), kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD), stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) and thymoma (THYM). Here, OSMR is linked to carcinoma of esophagus.
