WWTR1 and colonic neoplasm: Mulivariate Cox-regression analysis also showed that TAZ mRNA expression (HR = 1.998, 95% CI = 1.245–3.205, p = 0.004; Figure 2D) was an independent predictor for survival together with stage (p<0.001) and grade (p = 0.03) of the cancers in this colon cancer patient cohort.
