WWTR1 and malignant colon neoplasm: In 232 colon cancer patients from GSE17538, TAZ mRNA expression was significantly positively correlated with both AXL (r = 0.752, p<0.001; Figure 1E) and CTGF (r = 0.686, p<0.001; Figure 1F) mRNA expressions, while YAP mRNA was also significantly positively correlated with mRNA expression of both genes, again to a lesser extent (AXL: r = 0.343, p<0.001; Figure 1G and CTGF: r = 0.387, p<0.001; Figure 1H).
