Notably this module was enriched for genes associated with many cancer types (e.g., colorectal, endometrial, gastric, thyroid, breast, prostate, non-small cell lung cancer) as well as many cellular signaling (e.g., axon guidance, PI3K-Akt Ras, mTOR, MAPK signaling pathways), infectious disease (e.g., Tuberculosis, Pertussis, Influenza), and immune function (e.g., T cell receptor signaling, Th17 cell differentiation, IL-17 signaling). This evidence concerns the gene IL17A and pertussis.
