Using the publicly available TCGA-PAAD dataset, the correlation between mRNA expression of MUC16 and β1 integrin (encoded by the ITGB1 gene) resulted in a positive Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.26 and Spearman correlation of 0.47 (Supplementary Figure S1D) [23]. Here, MUC16 is linked to pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
