Further, we identified and verified some hub genes positively correlated with CRC by using Cytoscape software and UALCAN databases, including PAICS, ATR, AASDHPPT, DDX18, NUP107 and TOMM6. The present study discovered key gene modules and hub genes associated with CRC, which provide references to understand the pathogenesis of CRC and may be novel candidate target genes of CRC. Here, TOMM6 is linked to colorectal carcinoma.
