Using the Oncomine database, we observed that MAP3K3 mRNA was decreased in many other cancers (vs. normal) including bladder, breast, esophagus, head and neck, liver and prostate cancers, whereas, colorectal cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma and ovarian cancers were not consistent from different studies (Supplementary Figure S3). Here, MAP3K3 is linked to ovarian cancer.
