Identification and prognostic analysis of metabolic genes associated with TP53 mutation in multiple myeloma by Xiaoyan Tang, Yongping Chen

“…In the TCGA dataset, among the 767 patients, the 35 MM patients with TP53 mutation generally had poor survival outcomes. Specifically, the patients with both TP53 mutation and high RRM2 expression had a 2-year survival rate of only 38.87%, whereas those with normal TP53 function and low RRM2 expression had a 2-year survival rate of 86.31% (p < 0.001).Conclusion RRM2 significantly impacts MM prognosis and is associated with TP53 mutation, presenting itself as a potential therapeutic target and prognostic marker for MM.…”
