Glucoside xylosyltransferase 2 as a diagnostic and prognostic marker in gastric cancer via comprehensive analysis.

ABSTRACT: To investigate the potential role of GXYLT2 (glucoside xylosyltransferase 2) in gastric cancer (GC), the TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas) database and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset were used to evaluate GXYLT2 mRNA expression, and the standardized mean difference and diagnostic value were comprehensively assessed. Survival analysis and univariate/multivariate cox regression analysis were performed to evaluate the prognostic value of GXYLT2 in GC patients. The correlation between GXYLT2 and tumor immune cells was identified by using the CIBERSORT algorithm. The results showed that GXYLT2 expression level was significantly increased in GC tissues. GXYLT2 expression was significantly correlated with the grade, stage, and invasion depth of gastric cancer. Overall survival was reduced in
