Core Tip
Core tip: This study used The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and clinical data to identify sorting nexin (SNX)10 as associated with poor prognosis in stomach adenocarcinoma (SA). Firstly, we downloaded the TCGA-STAD RNA-seq data through R and identified the differentially expressed genes. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis was used to clarify the connection between modules and clinical information. We then chose SNX10 as the hub-gene of the tan-module after considering module membership, genes with high gene significance, degree and Molecular Complex Detection scores. Our center’s SA data were used to evaluate our hypothesis. Our findings demonstrated that weak expression of SNX10 is linked to poor SA prognosis.
