ERBB2 is a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in renal clear cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Renal clear cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a common parenchymal tumor of the kidney, and the discovery of biomarkers for early and effective diagnosis of ccRCC can improve the early diagnosis of patients and thus improve long-term survival. Erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2 (ERBB2) mediates the processes of cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis inhibition. The purpose of this study was to investigate the diagnostic and prognostic role of ERBB2 in ccRCC. We analyzed the expression levels of ERBB2 in various cancers from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. RNA-seq data were analyzed using R packages to identify differentially expressed genes between the high and low ERBB2 expression groups in the TCGA-KIRC dataset. Spearman correlation analysis
