Identification and external validation of a prognostic signature associated with DNA repair genes in gastric cancer
Abstract The aim of this study was to construct and validate a DNA repair-related gene signature for evaluating the overall survival (OS) of patients with gastric cancer (GC). Differentially expressed DNA repair genes between GC and normal gastric tissue samples obtained from the TCGA database were...
