Significance of a Tumor Mutation Burden Gene Signature with Prognosis and Immune Feature of Gastric Cancer Patients.

ABSTRACT: Gastric cancer (GC) is a common digestive tumor which ranks the fourth most common malignancy worldwide. Immunotherapy is a promising treatment for GC, especially for advanced gastric cancer (AGC). However, in clinical practice, not all patients are sensitive to immunotherapy. Recent studies showed that tumor mutation burden (TMB) is closely correlated with the response of immunotherapy. The current study identified a TMB-related genes' signature to predict the prognosis and immune feature of GC patients. Firstly, we acquired the TMB data and expression data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) GEO databases. Then, we extracted TMB-related genes from the expression data of TCGA and two GEO cohorts. By using univariate Cox analysis
