A protein‐protein interaction network based on the 158 genes was established, and further determined that 10 hub genes (SKA1, ANLN, CHEK1, SKA3, TOP2A, BIRC5, RRM2, NCAPG2, FANCI, and RAD51) were associated with some cancer‐related pathways based on the functional enrichment analysis. Here, RAD51 is linked to cancer.
