Known or related to a known asbestos-associated gene. ITGA4 also differentially expressed in asbestos-exposed lung cancer patients as compared to non-exposed lung cancer patients [10].

§ The gene also shows differential copy number in CGH array data of asbestos-exposed lung cancer patients, (data not shown, available at request)
