Using the FANTOM EdgeExressDB (Lizio et al., 2015; Lizio et al., 2019) to explore potential connections suggested that the coordinated co-expression of many of the genes was possible due to the transcription factor CLOCK, which had a very high correlation with CCNT1 - indeed, the two genes are significantly correlated in every cancer within TCGA, both before and after adjusting for tumor purity. Here, CCNT1 is linked to cancer.
