Next, we tested the hypothesis of whether these four SNPs located in the downstream of KRT8P35 and the intron of CDH4 might also influence the expression of these two genes in a cis-manner. We carried out an eQTL (expres
[Paragraph-level] PMCID: PMC5083195 Section: RESULTS PassageIndex: 12
Evidence Type(s): Functional, Prognostic
Justification: Functional: The passage discusses the influence of SNPs (rs9637468 and rs4925193) on the expression of genes in a cis-manner, indicating that these variants alter molecular function related to gene expression. Prognostic: The mRNA expression levels of CDH4 were associated with overall survival (OS) of pancreatic cancer patients, suggesting that the variants may correlate with disease outcome independent of therapy.
