DDX27 and malignant colon neoplasm: Our result demonstrated that higher staining density of DDX27 (score ≥ 8) (Fig. S1D) in primary colon cancer tissues predicted poor overall survival for patients in Shanghai cohort (N = 260, P < 0.05; Fig. 1i), although this association is not significant by multivariate analysis (P = 0.080; hazard ratio: 1.389; 95% CI, 0.962–2.005; Table S11).
