The results revealed that only Atonal BHLH Transcription Factor 1 (ATOH1) was associated with OS in COAD patients and, more specifically, the ATOH1-H group demonstrated a longer OS time than the ATOH1-L group (Hazard ratio = 0.51, [95% CI 0.33–0.78], p = 0.0017) (Fig. 3A). This evidence concerns the gene ATOH1 and colon adenocarcinoma.
