Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Inhibitor of growth 4 (ING4) is a novel tumor suppressor gene that is reported to be down-regulated in various tumors including gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) originated from different locations, recently. Herein, we aimed to evaluate ING4 expression and its prognostic significance on gastric GISTs in order to add further data to the current literature.
