DNA copy numbers in the chr 1: 32.1 MB - 53.4 MB region were highly correlated with genes in ovarian cancer module 9 with a PCC value of 0.301, and 13 out of 18 genes in the module (CDCA8, C1orf109, AK2, SNIP1, GNL2, RLF, TRIT1, YRDC, RRAGC, PPIE, PSMB2, MED8 and COL9A2) were located in this CNA region. The gene discussed is PPIE; the disease is ovarian carcinoma.
