Role of COL6A3 in colorectal cancer.

ABSTRACT: Public transcriptome databases provide a valuable resource for genome‑wide co‑expression network analysis and investigation of the molecular mechanisms that underlie pathogenesis. To discover genes that may affect patient survival, a large‑scale analysis of human colorectal cancer (CRC) datasets that were retrieved from the NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus was performed. A gene co‑expression network was constructed using weighted gene co‑expression network analysis (WGCNA). A total of 18 co‑expressed gene modules were identified, of which two genes corresponded to cell migration and the cell cycle, two genes were involved in immune responses, two genes corresponded to mitochondrial function, and one gene corresponded to RNA splicing. A total of eight hub genes in the cell migration/extracellul
