Additionally, we investigated the effect of ALKBH7 expression on prognosis in different anatomic neoplasm subdivision of HNSC, finding that high expression of ALKBH7 was associated with a better prognosis in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma compared to other types of HNSC (Supplementary Figure 2B–2F). The gene discussed is ALKBH7; the disease is laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.
