RNA editing affects cis-regulatory elements and predicts adverse cancer survival.

ABSTRACT:

Background

RNA editing exerts critical impacts on numerous biological processes and thus are implicated in crucial human phenotypes, including tumorigenesis and prognosis. While previous studies have analyzed aggregate RNA editing activity at the sample level and associated it with overall cancer survival, there is not yet a large-scale disease-specific survival study to examine genome-wide RNA editing sites' prognostic value taking into account the host gene expression and clinical variables.

Methods

In this study, we solved comprehensive Cox proportional models of disease-specific survival on individual RNA-editing sites plus host gene expression and critical demographic covariates. This allowed us to interrogate the prognostic value of a large number of RNA-editing sites
