Meanwhile, Kaplan–Meier survival analysis demonstrated that 9 genes (i.e. ITGB6, CD36, ITGA3, LAMC2, ITGA2, LAMA3, ITGB4, COL11A1, and LAMB3) of 13 differentially expressed ECMGs were discovered to be remarkably linked to PAAD prognosis (Figures 3C–O). This evidence concerns the gene LAMC2 and pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
