In addition, pair-wise correlation between each of a collective set of lung cancer prognostic marker genes and IRAK1BP1 expression was measured and shown in Figure 2D, where the color represents the coefficient of correlation and the size of the dot represents statistical significance; again, our analysis suggests that IRAK1BP1 had very weak correlation with most known biomarkers and was able to act alone as a prognostic predictor (Figure 2D). Here, IRAK1BP1 is linked to lung cancer.
