Furthermore, results from the Cox proportional hazards model indicated that high expression levels of GIPR (HR=1.88, P=0.049), SNX10 (HR=1.38, P=0.049), and low expression of HGF (HR=0.77, P=0.012), were independent adverse prognostic factors for overall survival (OS) in patients with B-ALL (Fig. 1D). Here, HGF is linked to acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
