Identification of KIFC1 as an independent prognostic marker in renal clear cell carcinoma correlates with tumor proliferation and immune infiltration by Bin Du, Jia Wang, Jinping Zheng, Jing Huo, Pu Wang

“…The expression of KIFC1 showed a significant positive correlation (Spearman coefficient > 0.7) with tumor proliferation-related pathways (tumor proliferation, G2/M checkpoint, and DNA replication) and tumor inflammation. Further, intratumoral immune cell analysis revealed that high expression of KIFC1 predicted more infiltration of CD8 + T and CD4 + T cells (p < 0.001). …”
