A Novel Prognostic Score Based on ZG16 for Predicting CRC Survival.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the lethal malignant tumors worldwide. However, the underlying mechanism of CRC and its biomarkers remain unclear. The aim of this study was to identify the key genes associated with CRC and to further explore their prognostic significance.

Methods

Four expression profile datasets (GSE41657, GSE74602, GSE113513, and GSE40967) downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and one RNAseq dataset of CRC from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database were included in our study. The Cox model was utilized for univariate or multivariate survival analysis. GEPIA and HAP database were adopted for verification of DEGs (ZG16). The decision curve analysis (DCA) and time-dependent ROC were chosen for evaluating the prognostic effectivene
