For those 23 genes, 3 (CP, EMP1, and AKR1C1) of them were found to be reported in ferroptosis-related studies (Yang et al., 2019; Huang et al., 2021; Huang et al., 2021), while 19 genes (CP, EMP1, AKR1C1, FMOD, MYBPH, IFI30, SRPX2, PDLIM1, MMP19, SPOCD1, FCGBP, NAMPT, SLC11A1, S100A10, TNC, CSMD3, ATP1A2, CUX2, and GALNT9) were previously reported in glioblastoma. This evidence concerns the gene AKR1C1 and glioblastoma.
