We detected more modest inverse correlations with BMP4 and FOSL1 (but with higher conditional R2-values and high p-values); these genes are also implicated in colon cancer cell proliferation and metastasis (Diesch et al., 2014; Yokoyama et al., 2017; Liu et al., 2021). The gene discussed is BMP4; the disease is malignant colon neoplasm.
