Biological function analysis indicated that the 35 TCP associated gene set was enriched for genes associated with cancer related processes such as cellular morphology (MGAT3, AQP1, TPM3, MYLK, SFRP1, NTRK2: p = 1.7e-3), cell-to-cell signalling (JAM2, LOC338328, OGT, MYLK, NTRK2, SNAP29: P = 1.7e-3), cellular movement and invasion (MGAT3, TPM3, MYLK, SFRP1, NTRK2, CCL15: P = 1.7e-3) and cellular survival and apoptosis (TPM3, PRR13, OGT, MYLK, SFRP1: P = 3.6e-5). This evidence concerns the gene TPM3 and cancer.
