CDH1 and neoplasm: Pearson correlation analysis of the mRNA expression datasets for OMA1 and epithelial marker genes such as MUC1, CDH1, and EPCAM using the input, TCGA_Tumor (BRCA Tumor) and TCGA_Normal (BRCA_Normal) revealed a statistically significant positive correlation with the OMA1 mRNA expression (P = 1.3e−12, R = 0.2 for MUC1; P = 1.1e−06, R = 0.14 for E-cadherin (CDH1); P = 0.00087, R = 0.096 for EPCAM) in the TCGA_BRCA dataset when compared to the TCGA_Normal dataset (Fig. 1C).
