A Novel Four Genes of Prognostic Signature for Uveal Melanoma.

ABSTRACT: Autophagy and immunity play critical roles in various cancers, but the prognostic impact of autophagy and immunity for uveal melanoma (UM) remains lacking. Therefore, the RNA sequencing of data in the TCGA-UVM dataset was downloaded from UCSC Xena database. The prognostic autophagy- and immunity-related genes (AIRGs) were selected via univariate Cox regression. Next, we applied LASSO method to construct four genes of signature in the TCGA-UVM and verified in another two GEO datasets (GSE84976 and GSE22138). This signature intimately associated with overall survival (OS) time and metastasis-free survival (MFS) time of UM, which could be considered as a prognostic indicator. Besides, by applying risk assessment, the patients of UM can be divided into two subgroups (high/low risk) with differ
