TRDMT1 and breast cancer: To investigate the correlation between these genes, we examined their expression levels in invasive BC samples from the TCGA database, and Spearman correlation analysis between these genes suggested that lnc-TRDMT1-5 was positively correlated with TRDMT1 (Figure 6D) and VIM (Figure 6E), while the correlation coefficient between lnc-TRDMT1-5 and VIM (R = 0.746) was higher than that between lnc-TRDMT1-5 and TRDMT1 (R = 0.295).
