UQCRB and glioma: COX assembly mitochondrial protein homolog (CMC1), Cytochrome c oxidase protein 20 homolog (COX20) and Cytochrome b-c1 complex subunit 7 (UQCRB) were identified as prognostic key genes in glioma, with UQCRB, CMC1 progressively increasing and COX20 progressively decreasing with decreasing risk scores.
