Although univariate analysis revealed a correlation between TRIM29 expression and some patient characteristics, such as body weight (p=0.038), gender (p=0.044), bleeding (p=0.005), stomachache (p=0.014), anemia (p=0.009), and smoking (p=0.013), multivariate analysis revealed that only TRIM29 expression was correlated with OS (p=0.007). This evidence concerns the gene TRIM29 and anemia (phenotype).
