The Kaplan–Meier survival plots from KM-Plotter database revealed that high expression levels of CMTR1 (P-value = 1.3 × 10–6 and 3.7 × 10–5, respectively) or ELAVL1 (P-value = 5.8 × 10–3 and 3.6 × 10–3, respectively) were associated with lower OS and FP survival probabilities of gastric cancer parents (Fig. 8b). Here, ELAVL1 is linked to gastric cancer.
