A total of 24 pyroptosis-related genes shown significantly different expression between normal and tumor tissues in COAD and seven genes (CASP4, CASP5, CASP9, IL6, NOD1, PJVK, and PRKACA) screened by univariate and LASSO cox regression analysis were used to construct the risk model. This evidence concerns the gene CASP9 and colon adenocarcinoma.
