Afterwards, the authors compared overall survival of lung adenocarcinoma patients with strong vs. medium/low candidate gene expression and found high mRNA expression levels of NOX1, GDA, TCN1, and BPIFA1 to be significantly associated with poor prognosis, while high mRNA expression levels of FCGBP were connected to a longer overall survival. The gene discussed is GDA; the disease is lung adenocarcinoma.
