Pan-Cancer Analysis Reveals FH as a Potential Prognostic and Immunological Biomarker in Lung Adenocarcinoma

Fumarate hydratase (FH) is an important enzymatic component in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Studies have reported that FH plays an important role in hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC). However, the role of FH in human different cancers remains unknown. This study is aimed at an...
