Moreover, Dahlem et al.23 proved that overexpression of insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) mRNA-binding protein IMP2 (IGF2BP2) existed and was associated with poor outcomes in pancreatic cancer patients by investigating publicly available datasets FBXO45 is positively associated with IMP2 expression, indicating that FBXO45 might play a potential oncogenic role in pancreatic cancer progression23. Here, IGF2 is linked to familial pancreatic carcinoma.
