As shown in the Fig. 1A-F, and Supplementary Tables 2, some TEG parameters, such as α angle, MA, and CI, were negatively associated with the overall survival of PC patients, which presented as the overall survival time of patients with higher α angle, MA, or CI levels was significantly longer than that of patients with lower levels; several TCF indicators also had definite relationships with the overall survival. This evidence concerns the gene HNF4A and pachyonychia congenita.
