The overlap between our data and all cancer types in TCGA was highly significant, both for miRNAs within a fusion transcript in at least one tumor (odds ratio 2.93, 95% CI [2.15–4.03], p = 3.29 × 10 −13 , Fisher’s exact test), for miRNAs recurrent in our data and with at least one fusion in TCGA (odds ratio 2.99, 95% CI [2.29–3.93], p < 2.20 × 10 −16 , Fisher’s exact test), as well as for miRNAs recurrent in both data sets (odds ratio 3.03, 95% CI [1.75–5.39], p = 2.62 × 10 −5 , Fisher’s exact test).
