Furthermore, KIFC1 expression was identified as an independent risk factor for reduced overall survival (OS) in STS patients, as evidenced in both univariate (HR = 3.27, 95% CI = 1.56–6.85, p = 0.002) and multivariate analysis (HR = 3.25, 95% CI = 1.34–6.43, p = 0.003) (Table2). Here, KIFC1 is linked to telomere syndrome.
