From: Identification of ESM1 overexpressed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
ESM1 is overexpressed in HNSCC from TCGA data. a Comparison of expression levels between HNSCC and normal tissues. b Copy number does not affect gene expression of ESM1. Positive and negative values indicate gain and loss of copy number, respectively. c The BioXpress database reveals that ESM1 is widely overexpressed in human cancers. The frequencies of patients who have an over- (blue) or under- (orange) expression of ESM1 in each cancer type are shown. During paired analysis between cancerous and adjacent tissues, all log2 fold change (log2FC) values greater than zero for ESM1 are considered to be overexpression, less than zero to be under-expression. The abbreviations are as follows: BLCA: urinary bladder cancer; BRCA: breast cancer; CESC: cervical squamous cell carcinoma; COAD: colon adenocarcinoma; ESCA: esophageal cancer; HNSC: head and neck cancer; KICH: kidney chromophobe adenocarcinoma; KIRC: kidney renal clear cell carcinoma; KIRP: kidney papillary renal cell carcinoma; LIHC: liver cancer; LUAD: lung adenocarcinoma; LUSC: lung squamous cell carcinoma; PAAD: pancreas adenocarcinoma; PRAD: prostate cancer; READ: rectum adenocarcinoma; SARC: sarcoma; STAD: stomach cancer; THCA: thyroid cancer; UCEC: uterine cancer
