The third ranking gene for correlations with mutation counts was APOBEC3A. Although it did not reach the stringent threshold of FDR adjusted p < 0.05, it showed strong positive correlations (ρ ≤ 0.90, padj ≥ 0.07) with several categories of mutation counts in renal cell carcinoma. This evidence concerns the gene APOBEC3A and renal cell carcinoma.
