CD3D and lung adenocarcinoma: Among these genes, ZAP70, CD3E, CD3G, CD3D, and CD247 were part of the TCR ‘signal-triggering module’; (3) High expression of the PIGs involved in the TCR signaling pathway was associated with improved OS in 5 cancer types (breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA), cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma (CESC), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), and sarcoma (SARC)), but was associated with decreased OS in brain lower-grade glioma (LGG).
