Pan-Cancer Analysis Reveals the Signature of TMC Family of Genes as a Promising Biomarker for Prognosis and Immunotherapeutic Response
Transmembrane Channel-like (TMC) genes are critical in the carcinogenesis, proliferation, and cell cycle of human cancers. However, the multi-omics features of TMCs and their role in the prognosis and immunotherapeutic response of human cancer have not been explored. We discovered that TMCs 4-8 were...
