GPI Is a Prognostic Biomarker and Correlates With Immune Infiltrates in Lung Adenocarcinoma

BackgroundGlucose-6-phosphate isomerase (GPI) plays an important role in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. However, the role of GPI in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains unclear.MethodsAll original data were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases and...
