E co-expressed with ITIH1 depending on TCGA pan-cancer datasets, and also the genes with Pearson correlation coefficients far more than 0.4 had been viewed as most connected to ITIH1. Subsequent, we performed Gene Ontology (GO) analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis of ITIH1related genes utilizing the STRING database (http://www.string-db.org/) [16].
