Of these genes, five showed significant association with unfavourable OS in three cancers, including SKCM (ABCC2, GSTP1), KIRC (CYP2D6, CYP2E1), PAAD (UGT2B7); sixteen genes showed significant associations with favourable OS in twelve cancers, including BLCA (UGT2B15), BRCA (CYP2D6), COAD (NAT1), HNSC (ABCB1), KIRC (ABCG2, CYP3A4, SLC22A2, SLC22A6), KIRP (SLC22A2), LIHC (CYP2C19, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP3A5, SLC22A1), LUAD (SLC15A2), LUSC (UGT1A1), PAAD (ABCB1), SARC (ABCB1), and SKCM (ABCB1, DPYD). This evidence concerns the gene SLC22A1 and cancer.
