In our subsequent analysis of the AGO-OVAR 11 tumour samples, the mRNA levels for PPP2R5C correlated with resection status, whereas no strong evidence was obtained for CABLES1 or FAM35A. Furthermore, we have shown associations of specific GWAS-derived genetic variants in PPP2R5C with the levels of its transcript, and this was partly dependent on the resection status. This evidence concerns the gene SHLD2 and neoplasm.
