Prognostic and Immunological Role of FAT Family Genes in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The FAT atypical cadherin 1/2/3/4 (FAT1/2/3/4) has been linked to the occurrence and development of various cancers. However, the prognostic and immunological role of FAT1/2/3/4 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has not been clarified.

Methods

The association of FAT1/2/3/4 mutations with tumor mutation burden (TMB), tumor immunity in the microenvironment, and response to ICIs in NSCLC was investigated. Whole-exome sequencing data of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) samples from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), and an immunotherapy data set comprising mutation and survival data of 75 NSCLC patients were analyzed. Two independent pan-cancer cohorts with large samples were used to validate the prognostic value of FAT1/2/3/4 mutations
