The selected genes were performed with univariate Cox analysis and intersected with DEGs of The TCGA human colon cancer dataset (TCGA-COAD) to filter out those that significantly correlated with survival of TCGA-COAD, which generated a final gene list of 8 genes, termed the “BA-P38-Neu gene set”. This evidence concerns the gene MAPK14 and malignant colon neoplasm.
