Pan-cancer analyses reveal the regulation and clinical outcome association of PCLAF in human tumors

Abstract Studies have shown that PCNA clamp associated factor (PCLAF) plays a paramount role in a variety of cancers; however, the expression profile and the specific molecular mechanism of PCLAF in cancer remains unclear, as is its value in the human pan-cancer analysis. Based on the publicly available datasets of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), a comprehensive analysis of the probable carcinogenic effects of the PCLAF gene was performed in 33 human cancers. It was
