In this study, ten genes expressed by infiltrated CD8+ T cells (i.e., AMD1, CCSER2, CIB1, DRAP1, HMGB2, HMGN1, NPIPB5, PTP4A2, RORA, and SAP18) were suggested as potential ccRCC prognostic biomarkers, by using next-generation sequencing (i.e. bulk sequencing and single-cell sequencing) of ccRCC, papillary renal cell carcinoma (papRCC), and control kidney biopsies. Here, AMD1 is linked to papillary renal cell carcinoma.
