Thus, we established a CAFs-related gene signature including twenty genes (ADAM8, CADM3, CASS4, CDC25C, CYTH3, EPHA6, IGFBP3, LAMP5, LSAMP, MAN1C1, NAV3, NLGN1, NOVA1, RCAN2, S1PR3, SIGLEC1, SLAMF1, SUSD5, TUB, and ZNF385A) through WGCNA, univariate, LASSO, and multivariate Cox regression analysis for predicting the prognosis and therapy response of CRC patients. Here, NOVA1 is linked to colorectal carcinoma.
