The construction of a novel prognostic prediction model for glioma based on GWAS-identified prognostic-related risk loci
Glioma is a highly malignant brain tumor with a grim prognosis.Genetic factors play a role in glioma development.While some susceptibility loci associated with glioma have been nitrile gloves in a bucket identified, the risk loci associated with prognosis have received less attention.This study aims to identify risk loci associated with glioma prog
