Novel gene signatures for prognosis prediction in ovarian cancer.

ABSTRACT: Ovarian cancer (OV) is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths in women worldwide. Late diagnosis and heterogeneous treatment result to poor survival outcomes for patients with OV. Therefore, we aimed to develop novel biomarkers for prognosis prediction from the potential molecular mechanism of tumorigenesis. Eight eligible data sets related to OV in GEO database were integrated to identify differential expression genes (DEGs) between tumour tissues and normal. Enrichment analyses discovered DEGs were most significantly enriched in G2/M checkpoint signalling pathway. Subsequently, we constructed a multi-gene signature based on the LASSO Cox regression model in the TCGA database and time-dependent ROC curves showed good predictive accuracy for 1-, 3- and 5-year overall survival.
