Analyses of the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) proteomics dataset demonstrated positive correlations between FOCAD, TTC37 and SKIV2L protein levels37 (TTC37 and FOCAD: Pearson’s R = 0.567, n = 375, P = 2.52 × 10−33; TTC37 and SKIV2L: R = 0.936, n = 375, P = 3.41 × 10−171; SKIV2L and FOCAD: R = 0.553, n = 375, P = 1.86 × 10−31; Fig. 4a, Extended Data Fig. 4a). The gene discussed is SKIC3; the disease is cancer.
