By analyzing transcriptomic and clinical data of digestive cancer samples from TCGA involving colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), esophageal carcinoma (ESCA), liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC), stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD), and pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD), it was found that expressions levels of MUC15, MUC13, and MUC21 were individually associated with survival for digestive cancers, and high expressions of EMCN (MUC14) and MUC15 were correlated with poor survival for STAD. The gene discussed is MUC15; the disease is carcinoma of esophagus.
