ObjectiveTo investigate the impact that TTN mutation had on the gene heterogeneity expression and prognosis in patients with lung adenocarcinoma.MethodsIn this study, the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset was used to analyze the TTN mutations in lung adenocarcinoma. Lung adenocarcinoma data was collected from the TCGA database, clinical information of patients was analyzed, and bioinformatics statistical methods were applied for mutation analysis and prognosis survival analysis. The results were verified using the GEO dataset.ResultsThe incidence of TTN mutations in lung adenocarcinoma was found to be 73%, and it was related to the prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma. Ten genes were screened with significant contributions to prognosis. A prognosis model was constructed and verified by LASSO COX analysis in the TCGA and GEO datasets based on these ten beneficial factors. The independent prognostic factor H2BC9 for TTN mutation-driven gene heterogeneity expression was screened through multi-factor COX regression analysis.ConclusionOur data showed that the gene heterogeneity expression, which was driven by TTN mutations, prolonged the survival of lung adenocarcinoma patients and provided valuable clues for the prognosis of TTN gene mutations in lung adenocarcinoma.
