A Combined Effect of Expression Levels of Obesity-Related Genes and Clinical Factors on Cancer Survival Rate

Figure 2

Effects of expression levels of obesity-related genes on cancer survival rate. (a) Distribution of different types of cancer in tissues. (b) The effect of expression level of LEPR gene on patients’ survival with KICH. Days represent the survival time after diagnosis. Red and blue lines indicate low/medium expression level (with TPM values below the upper quartile) and high-expression level groups (with TPM values above the upper quartile) for LEPR gene in LIHC patients, respectively. (c) This shows the effects of expression levels of the 13 obesity-related genes on cancer survival rate for each of the 33 types of cancer. Red ()/blue () represents that patients in high-expression level group have a higher/lower survival probability than those in low/medium-expression group. Yellow () and brown () colors indicate the insignificant difference in the obesity-related gene between high- and low/medium-expression level groups.
