Identification and Development of a Novel 4-Gene Immune-Related Signature to Predict Osteosarcoma Prognosis.

ABSTRACT: Osteosarcoma (OS) is a malignant disease that develops rapidly and is associated with poor prognosis. Immunotherapy may provide new insights into clinical treatment strategies for OS. The purpose of this study was to identify immune-related genes that could predict OS prognosis. The gene expression profiles and clinical data of 84 OS patients were obtained from the Therapeutically Applicable Research to Generate Effective Treatments (TARGET) database. According to non-negative matrix factorization, two molecular subtypes of immune-related genes, C1 and C2, were acquired, and 597 differentially expressed genes between C1 and C2 were identified. Univariate Cox analysis was performed to get 14 genes associated with survival, and 4 genes (GJA5, APBB1IP, NPC2, and FKBP11) obtained
