ACOT7 and neoplasm: To validate this, we profiled ACOT7 mRNA expression across clinical samples (tumor and adjacent normal) and <i>in vitro</i> models (cell lines) via Real-Time quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR).<h4>Results</h4>Bioinformatic analysis of public databases revealed that ACOT7 mRNA expression was significantly upregulated in IDC patients compared to normal tissues.
