Another cyclin gene, CCNE1 also showed a trend for higher amplification frequency in ELF3/HNF4A up-regulated cancers (Student’s t -test p = 0.06).

HNF4A, besides showing a highly significant co-expression with ELF3, has been identified in a study of master transcription factors of gastrointestinal cancers to be a target gene of lineage-defining master transcription factors [ 11 ].
Other less frequently mutated cancer-associated genes such as LRP1B , FAT3 , FAT2 and ERBB4 were also more commonly mutated in the same group of patients with ELF3/HNF4A up-regulation, but differences did not reach statistical significance ( Fig. 8 ).
