High expression of CCT6A, RHOQ, and RRP12 promoted COAD cell growth and were relative to lower survival rate of COAD patients, while high expression of UTP18, DDOST, YRDC, ACTG1, RFT1, and NLE1 also promoted COAD cell growth, but were relative to higher survival rate. Here, DDOST is linked to colon adenocarcinoma.
