Through the univariate Cox analysis, we identified 14 significant FRGs (SPRR2E, MYBPH, SOST, CYP4F8, HMGCS2, PDZD3, SPRR2A, BHMT, CRNN, LCE3D, CRTAC1, LRTM1, DSG3, KRT6B) as independent prognostic indicators for BLCA (Fig. 7a). This evidence concerns the gene SPRR2A and bladder transitional cell carcinoma.
