Figure 1. FAM83A was overexpression in NSCLC tissues and correlated with more aggressive clinical characteristics in the TCGA dataset. (A) Heatmaps showing the clustering patterns of differentially expressed FAM83A between normal and lung cancer specimens. (B) Box plot analysis of the FAM83A mRNA levels in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and human lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) tissue samples. (CD) Kaplan-Meier plots of overall-survival (C) and disease-free survival (D) in NSCLC patients with high and low levels of FAM83A. The dotted line indicates the 95% confidence interval. (E) Pearson’s test showed that FAM83A had weak positive correlation with Snail (r = 0.17, P<0.001) in NSCLC tissues.
