Identification of necroptosis & mitophagy-related key genes and their prognostic value in colorectal cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Our study aimed to elucidate the potential necroptotic&mitophagy-related key genes in colorectal cancer (COAD) by bioinformatics analysis and identify their prognostic value in COAD.

Methods

Firstly, we integrated the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) and gene expression omnibus (GEO) datasets to identify necroptosis & mitophagy-related differentially expressed genes (N&MRDEGs) in COAD using "TCGAbiolinks" and "GEOquery" packages. Secondly, the obtained data were used for differential expression analysis using the "limma" package, and further functional enrichment analysis using the "clusterProfiler" package. Then, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and gene set variation analysis (GSVA) were utilized to explore pathway associations of the N&MRDEGs. Thirdly, the predict
