MTMR2 and neoplasm: The expression levels of MTMR2 were significantly correlated with T stage (P = 0.004), N stage (P = 0.000), and TNM stage (P = 0.032) (Table 1, Additional file 1: Figure S2A-C), but not with the sex (P = 0.396), age (P = 0.313), tumor location (P = 0.524), histological grade (P = 0.172) or tumor size (P = 0.056) (Table 1).
