Characteristic Analysis of Featured Genes Associated with Cholangiocarcinoma Progression.

ABSTRACT: The noninvasive diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is insufficiently accurate. Therefore, the discovery of new prognostic markers is vital for the understanding of the CCA mechanism and related treatment. The information on CCA patients in The Cancer Genome Atlas database was used for weighted gene co-expression network analysis. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis were applied to analyze the modules of interest. By using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis to analyze the Human Protein Atlas (HPA), the featured genes were subsequently verified. In addition, clinical samples and GSE119336 cohort data were also collected for the validation of these hub genes. Using WGCNA, we identified 61 hub genes that regulated the
