Abstract
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a type of hematological malignancy and has a poor prognosis. In our study, we aimed to construct a prognostic model of ALL by identifying important genes closely related to ALL prognosis. We obtained transcriptome data (RNA-seq) of ALL samples from the GDC TARGET database and identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) using the “DESeq” package of R software. We used univariate and multivariate cox regression analyses to screen out the prognostic genes of ALL. In our results, the risk score can be used as an independent prognostic factor to predict the prognosis of ALL patients [hazard ratio (HR) = 2.782, 95% CI = 1.903–4.068, p < 0.001]. Risk score in clinical parameters has high diagnostic sensitivity and specificity for predicting overall survival of ALL patients, and the area under curve (AUC) is 0.864 in the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis results. Our study evaluated a potential prognostic signature with six genes and constructed a risk model significantly related to the prognosis of ALL patients. The results of this study can help clinicians to adjust the treatment plan and distinguish patients with good and poor prognosis for targeted treatment.
