A specific analysis of highly correlated genes (r > ± 0.800; CGGA-dataset) using STRING-tool and KEGG-database revealed a clear link among several genes involved in the splicing -process and critical cancer-related pathways (i.e., cell cycle, transcriptional regulation, DNA repair, mTOR-signaling, etc.; Fig. 8a-b and Table S5), which further supported the relevance of SF3B1 in tumor -physiopathology. The gene discussed is MTOR; the disease is neoplasm.
