Furthermore, correlation analysis between 182 DEGs and MEX3A was applied using TCGA ovarian cancer data to obtain 7 DEGs (CSNKE1, OBSL1, DNASE1, ZNF711, TIMELESS, SAMD11, and BCL9) that were positively associated with MEX3A expression (Spearman’s correlation≥0.3). Here, DNASE1 is linked to ovarian cancer.
