For further validate that our RQ-PCR results of PDCD7 on OS estimation were generalizable to AML patients irrespective of different chemotherapies, we analysed PDCD7 expression data from 225 CN-AML patients treated according to the German AMLCG-1999 protocol, and confirmed the prediction (HR, 1.291; 95% CI, 1.013–1.645; P = 0.039; Fig. 5). Here, PDCD7 is linked to acute myeloid leukemia.
