X-ray repair cross-complementation group 1 (XRCC1) is a pivotal contributor to base excision repair, and its dysregulation has been implicated in the oncogenicity of various human malignancies. However, a comprehensive pan-cancer analysis investigating the prognostic value, immunological functions, and epigenetic associations of XRCC1 remains lacking. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted a systematic investigation employing bioinformatics techniques across 33 cancer types.

The Familial sequence similarity (FAM) gene family is known to contribute to the pathogenesis of various malignancies, but the extent of their involvement in UCEC has not been systematically studied. This investigation aimed to develop a robust risk profile based on FAM family genes (FFGs) to predict the prognosis and suitability for immunotherapy in UCEC patients.

However, its role in ccRCC remains unclear; therefore, this study aimed to elucidate the relationship between SLC22A8 and ccRCC.

The aim of this study was to construct a prognostic model of SKCM through NRGs in order to help SKCM patients obtain precise clinical treatment strategies. RNA sequencing data collected from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were used to identify differentially expressed and prognostic NRGs in SKCM.
