We observed in Table S5 that 7 pathways (Chronic myeloid leukemia, Nonsmall cell lung cancer, acute myeloid leukemia, ErbB signaling pathway, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, glioma) among 25 consensus T2D pathways share similar genes (their pairwise Kappa scores are higher than 0.5) and all these 7 pathways are cancer related pathways. Here, EGFR is linked to prostate cancer.
