Transcriptional expression of ZICs as an independent indicator of survival in gliomas.

ABSTRACT: The functional significance of the zinc-finger of the cerebellum (ZIC) gene family in gliomas remains to be elucidated. Clinical data from patients with gliomas, containing expression levels of ZIC genes, were extracted from CCLE, GEPIA2 and The Human Protein Atlas (HPA). Univariate survival analysis adjusted by Cox regression via OncoLnc was used to determine the prognostic significance of ZIC expression. We used cBioPortal to explore the correlation between gene mutations and overall survival (OS). ZIC expression was found to be related to immune cell infiltration in gliomas via TIMER analysis. GO term and KEGG pathway enrichment analyzes were performed with Metascape. PPI networks were constructed using STRING. The expression levels of ZIC1/3/4/5 in gliomas were significantly different
