Finally, in the TCGA (Supporting Information Fig S7A), in the Anglesio dataset (Supporting Information Fig S7B), that comprises 30 borderline serous ovarian neoplasms and 60 serous adenocarcinomas (Anglesio et al, 2008) and in the Meyniel dataset (Supporting Information Fig S7C), that comprises 44 breast carcinomas and 106 ovarian cancers of different origin (Meyniel et al, 2010), stathmin was co-expressed with BUB1, CENPA, FAM64A and NCAPH, thus further implying that the new axis identified here has a concrete relevance in human EOC. This evidence concerns the gene PIMREG and borderline ovarian serous tumor.
