HOXB13 and renal cell carcinoma: Previous studies have investigated DEGs between RCC and LCC using gene chips and patient samples or gene expression information from databases.22–24 In the present study, DEGs at the intersection of 5 datasets from the GEO were identified, and HOXB13, which has a unique effect on other genes, was the focus of this study because of its impact on overall survival in RCC.
