Through strict screening in 448 colon cancer patients from TCGA database (training set) and 7 colon cancer prognostic models from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database (including 1473 cases in the validation set), 10 prognosis‐related genes (TIMP1, FJX1, CD36, CXCL1, ETS2, CDKN2A, INHBB, PLEC, TUBB2, and P4HA1) were selected. The gene discussed is P4HA1; the disease is malignant colon neoplasm.
