Co-expression of PDGFRB with genes governing ECM-receptor interaction, platelet activation, TGFB pathway, and EMT in colorectal tumors. Heat map of the expression of genes co-expressed with the PDGFR in at least two of three tumor cohorts in the categories “ECM-Receptor Interaction,“ “Platelet Activation,“ “Platelet alpha-Granule,“ “TGFB pathway,“ and “EMT.“ The overlapping genes were identified by GeneVenn (Figure W1). An overview of the individual genes in these categories and their correlation with PDGFRB is presented in Table W1.
