Then seven glycosylation genes (BGN, C1GALT1C1L, GALNT13, SDC1, SERPINA1, SPTBN5 and TUBA1C) associated with glioma prognosis were screened out by consensus clustering, principal component analysis, Lasso regression, and univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis using the TCGA-GTEx database. This evidence concerns the gene SDC1 and central nervous system cancer.
