In the TCGA-HCC dataset, 13 genes were identified with significant correlation with SAMD13 from the tumor group only and a total of six genes including FOXM1, JUN, JARID2, BRE, BUB1B, and PHC2 were shown to significantly predict poor overall survival in log-rank tests in HCC (Fig. 6C). This evidence concerns the gene PHC2 and hepatocellular carcinoma.
