Fig. 1: Expression correlation of candidate endometrial cancer susceptibility genes between tissues.

Gene expression of CYP19A1 (a), EEFSEC (b), EIF2AK4 (c), EVI2A (d), HEY2 (e), AC021755.3 (f), SKAP1 (g) and SNX11 (h) was compared across the six relevant tissues: whole blood, vagina, uterus, ovary, visceral (omentum) adipose and subcutaneous adipose (available in Supplementary Data 1). The intensity of the color shows the magnitude of the expression correlation between tissues, where intense red color indicates a strong positive correlation and intense blue color indicates a strong negative correlation.
