There were several genes with modestly higher frequencies in metastatic lesions prior to multiple testing correction: MYC (more frequent in metastatic lesions, unadjusted p-value = 0.005), a cell cycle regulator whose amplification is associated with poor prognosis in pancreatic cancer,20 and LRP1B (more frequent in metastatic lesions, unadjusted p-value = 0.025), a tumour suppressor involved in lipid processing (Fig. 1b). The gene discussed is MYC; the disease is neoplasm.
