Downregulation of FXYD2 Is Associated with Poor Prognosis and Increased Regulatory T Cell Infiltration in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma by Zedan Zhang, Yanlin Tang, Lei Li, Wuping Yang, Yawei Xu, Jingcheng Zhou, Kaifang Ma, Kenan Zhang, Hongkai Zhuang, Yanqing Gong, Kan Gong

“…FXYD2 was identified to be downregulated in ccRCC tissue compared to normal tissue, which was confirmed by our RT-PCR, WB, and IHC analyses. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox regression analysis suggested that downregulated FXYD2 could independently predict poor survival of ccRCC patients. …”
