ANGPTL4 and colorectal carcinoma: The multivariate Cox regression analysis on clinical features (age, gender and stage) and ANGPTL4 expression levels revealed that ANGPTL4 could be an independent risk factor for CRC death (TCGA-CRC: HR = 1.27, 95% CI 1.02–1.60, p = 0.032; GSE17536: HR = 3.4, 95% CI 1.62–7.2, p = 0.001) (Fig. 3H; Supplementary Fig. S2I).
