Expression Profile, Molecular Association, and Clinical Significance of POLD4 in Glioblastoma.

ABSTRACT: The POLD4 gene encodes a subunit (δ4) of DNA polymerase delta, which is a key enzyme involved in DNA replication and repair. Recent studies have suggested that POLD4 plays a crucial role in developing certain cancers. However, there is a lack of knowledge regarding the role of POLD4 in the context of glioblastoma (GBM). Therefore, in this study we have used various cancer bioinformatics tools to explore the role of POLD4 in glioblastoma. Data from various sources were accessed to analyze POLD4 gene expression and estimate tumor-infiltrating immune cells in glioblastoma. Methylation data were retrieved using the MEXPRESS web browser and analyzed. UALCAN webserver was used to analyze the protein expression of POLD4. Gene correlation and pathway enrichment analysis were performed using cBioPo
