Prognostic Role of SETDB2 in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma: Linking Immune Infiltration, Cuproptosis, and Tumor Suppression by Lu SH, Lui K, Qian Y, Zhou WY, Mu YY, Zhang W

“…At present, there are few effective options for treating advanced cases of ccRCC, emphasizing the need to establish novel biomarkers and targets suitable for therapeutic intervention. SET domain bifurcated histone lysine methyltransferase 2 (SETDB2) belongs to the Su(var)3– 9 subfamily of methyltransferases and has been linked to various forms of cancer, but the role it plays in ccRCC remains to be fully established.Methods: Data on SETDB2 expression were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. …”
