Further analysis of TCGA pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma data in GEPIA showed that, twenty-one of the identified prognostic genes (ITGB6, LAMC2, KRT7, SERPINB5, IGF2BP3, IL1RN, MPZL2, SFTA2, MET, LAMA3, ARNTL2, SLC2A1, LAMB3, COL17A1, EPSTI1, IL1RAP, AK4, ANXA2, S100A16, KRT19, and GPRC5A) were also correlated with the pathological stages of the disease, underlying their prognostic value for PDAC (Fig. 3). This evidence concerns the gene SERPINB5 and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
