Pan-cancer analysis reveals IGFL2 as a potential target for cancer prognosis and immunotherapy.

ABSTRACT: Insulin-like growth factor like family member 2 (IGFL2) is a gene in the IGFL family, located on chromosome 19, whose role in cancer is unclear, and the aim of this study was to investigate the relevance of IGFL2 expression, prognosis, immunity, and mutation in pan-cancer. Obtaining information from The Cancer Genome Atlas and The Genotype-Tissue Expression Project (GTEx) databases for expression analysis and combining with The Gene Expression Profile Interaction Analysis database for prognostic aspects. Analysis of immune cell infiltration by TIMER and CIBERSORT algorithms. Calculation of correlation of immune-related genes with IGFL2 expression and tumor mutational burden and microsatellite instability. Mutations and DNA methylation were analyzed using the cBioPortal database and the UAL
