A novel tailored immune gene pairs signature for overall survival prediction in lower-grade gliomas.

ABSTRACT: Lower-grade gliomas (LGGs) have a good prognosis with a wide range of overall survival (OS) outcomes. An accurate prognostic system can better predict survival time. An RNA-Sequencing (RNA-seq) prognostic signature showed a better predictive power than clinical predictor models. A signature constructed using gene pairs can transcend changes from biological heterogeneity, technical biases, and different measurement platforms. RNA-seq coupled with corresponding clinical information were extracted from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA). Immune-related gene pairs (IRGPs) were used to establish a prognostic signature through univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was used to ev
