Identification of potential prognostic biomarkers among gene models for coiled-coil domain-containing family members in hepatocellular carcinoma elucidates their influence on the hypoxia pathway and immune microenvironment.

ABSTRACT: The family of coiled-coil domain-containing (CCDC) proteins participates in a wide range of physiological functions and plays a pivotal role in governing the invasion and metastasis of malignant tumor cells. Nonetheless, the precise mechanism governing the interaction among the immune microenvironment, hypoxia pathway, and proliferation in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains elusive. In this study, our objective was to identify the prognostic significance of CCDC family genes in HCC. We conducted an analysis of RNA-seq data from HCC patients sourced from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Our analysis involved comparing the expression profiles of 168 CCDC family genes between tumor and normal tissues to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The prognostic value of these
