Based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data in LinkedOmics [7], as well as GSE118916 [8] and GSE54129 datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, we identified myosin‐Va (MYO5A), tripeptidyl peptidase 1 (TPP1), TGFBR2, PALM2‐AKAP2, and PLTP as potential predictors of progression and prognosis of GC. The gene discussed is PLTP; the disease is gastric cancer.
