CCN2 and colorectal carcinoma: Our results from analysis of the CRC dataset available in TCGA also confirmed that MIR4435-2HG expression significantly correlated with YAP1 expression, as well as with the expression of downstream markers of YAP1 (e.g., CTGF, AREG, E-cadherin, vimentin, Snail, Slug, and Twist).
