Transcriptional expression of ZICs as an independent indicator of survival in gliomas
Abstract The functional significance of the zinc-finger of the cerebellum (ZIC) gene family in gliomas remains to be elucidated. Clinical data from patients with gliomas, containing expression levels of ZIC genes, were extracted from CCLE, GEPIA2 and The Human Protein Atlas (HPA). Univariate surviva...

High expression levels of ZIC1/5 were associated with poor OS in brain low-grade glioma (LGG) patients, while low ZIC3 expression combined was related to favorable OS in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).
