LARP1 and neoplasm: To examine this assumption, Pearson correlation was also calculated for the expression levels of the genes FER vs LARP1. While in tumor tissue (TCGA), the expression levels of Fer displays moderate but statistically significant positive correlation with the expression levels of LARP1 (r=0.581, p-val=1.52E-17), in healthy tissue (GTEx) it displays a moderate negative correlation (r= –0.480, p-val= 6.54E-11) (Figure 7B).
