Overall, we found that gene–regulator pairs that transferred to tumour-adjacent tissues had a similar predictive gain in both tissues (median difference in predictive gain: miRNA = 0.0804%, TF = 3.13%, lncRNA = 1.15%, DNAm = 3.47%, CNV = 0.0193%, SNP = 2.17%), suggesting these predictions reflect putative regulatory patterns. The gene discussed is TF; the disease is neoplasm.
