Oncogenic role of TWF2 in human tumors: A pan-cancer analysis.

To develop effective medicines, researchers must first understand the common and distinct mechanisms that drive oncogenic processes in human cancers. TWF1 and TWF2 belong to the actin-depolymerizing factor homology family. TWF1 has been identified as an important gene in lung, breast, and pancreatic cancer in recent investigations. TWF2's role in cancer remains largely unknown, no comprehensive pan-cancer studies have been conducted. We utilized the The Cancer Genome Atlas and Gene Expression Omnibus datasets to investigate the role of TWF2 in different types of cancers. TWF2 transcription in cancers and the number of TWF2 mutations were examined as part of our study. We also examined the possible functional pathways involved in TWF2-mediated oncogenicity. Our pan-cancer analysis provided a complete overview of the oncogenic effects of TWF2 in a wide range of human malignancies. © 2022 Wenjie Liu et al., published by De Gruyter.
