FBLN1 and metastatic neoplasm: Specifically, our study indicates that seven core genes, namely the collagen family (COL1A2, COL1A1, COL6A3, and COL5A1), DCN, FBLN1, and POSTN, were significantly upregulated in metastatic tumors compared with those in primary tumors and, thus, potentially offer insight into novel therapeutic and early diagnostic biomarkers of ccRCC.
