ORM genes are highly expressed specifically in human liver tissues. A and B: The Human Protein Atlas project was used to test orosomucoid 1 (ORM1) (A) and ORM2 (B) expression levels in different tissues. Gene levels were determined by RPKM and RNA-seq. C and D: The difference in ORM gene expression between liver cancer/other tumors, liver/other normal tissues, liver cancer/adjacent normal liver tissues, and liver tumors/other adjacent normal tissues. The results are shown as differential ratios by logFC. RPKM: Reads Per Kilobase per Million mapped reads; FC: Fold change; HCC: Hepatocellular carcinoma; ORM1: Orosomucoid 1.
