Furthermore, our analysis using a colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) data set retrieved from the TCGA (the cancer genome atlas) data base to assess the impact of these genes on cancer patient survival revealed four of these genes, namely TUBB6, PAK6, SULT1A1, SLC11A1, which are involved in cancer hallmarks [56], to have a significant impact on overall survival. This evidence concerns the gene SLC11A1 and cancer.
