The construction of a hypoxia-based signature identified CA12 as a risk gene affecting uveal melanoma cell malignant phenotypes and immune checkpoint expression
Abstract:Uveal melanoma (UM) is a deadly intraocular neoplasm in the adult population and harbors limited therapeutic effects from the current treatment. Here, we aimed to investigate the role of hypoxia in UM progress. We adopted the Cancer Genome Atlas data set as a training cohort and Gene Expression Omnibus data sets as validating cohorts. We first used consensus clustering to identify hypoxia-related subtypes, and the C1 subtype predicted an unfavorable prognosis and exhibited high infiltration of immunocytes and … Show more
