Expression patterns of IMPA2 in CRC. (A) IMPA2 expression among liver metastases, primary tumors and normal tissues in the GSE41258 dataset; (B) IMPA2 expression between tumors and normal tissues in the TCGA cohort; (C-F) Correlation between IMPA2 expression and clinical characteristics, which showed that IMPA2 expression were significantly associated with AJCC Stage (C), T stage (D), N stage (E), and M stage (F); (G-K) Similar results were observed from the GSE39582 cohort. Abbreviations: CRC, colorectal cancer; TCGA, The Cancer Genome Atlas; AJCC, American Joint Committee on Cancer; IMPA2, inositol Mono-phosphatase 2.
