Fig. 2From: Mendelian randomization and transcriptomic analysis reveal an inverse causal relationship between Alzheimer’s disease and cancerTranscriptomics analysis reveals PVRIG upregulation to be associated with favorable outcomes in cancer. Correlations between PVRIG expression levels and stemness scores, apoptosis pathway’s enrichment scores, enrichment scores of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) (A), and ratios of CD8+/CD4+ regulatory T cells (B) in pan-cancer and in 33 individual cancer types. C Kaplan–Meier survival curves showing better overall survival in higher-PVRIG-expression-level (upper third) than in lower-PVRIG-expression-level (bottom third) cancer patients in pan-cancer and in nine individual cancer types. The Spearman’s correlation coefficients (ρ) and adjusted P values (FDR) are shown in A; the Pearson’s correlation coefficients (r) and FDR are shown in B; and the log-rank test P values are shown in C. *FDR < 0.05; **FDR < 0.01; ***FDR < 0.001; nsFDR ≥ 0.05Back to article page
