HIGD1B, as a novel prognostic biomarker, is involved in regulating the tumor microenvironment and immune cell infiltration; its overexpression leads to poor prognosis in gastric cancer patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

HIGD1B (HIG1 Hypoxia Inducible Domain Family Member 1B) is a protein-coding gene linked to the occurrence and progression of various illnesses. However, its precise function in gastric cancer (GC) remains unclear.

Methods

The expression of HIGD1B is determined through the TCGA and GEO databases and verified using experiments. The association between HIGD1B and GC patients' prognosis was analyzed via the Kaplan-Meier (K-M) curve. Subsequently, the researchers utilized ROC curves to assess the diagnostic capacity of HIGD1B and employed COX analysis to investigate risk factors for GC. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were then subjected to functional enrichment analysis, and a nomogram was generated to forecast the survival outcome and probability of GC pati
