Bioinformatics analysis of DNMT1 expression and its role in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma prognosis

Abstract Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most common type of malignancy in the world. DNA cytosine-5-methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) play key roles in carcinogenesis and regulation of the immune micro-environment, but the gene expression and the role of DNMT1 in HNSCC is unkno...
