Background
collagen type I is a fundamental composition of extracellular matrix. Typically it exists in the form of a heterotrimer, consisting of two α1 chains encoded by COL1A1 and one α2 chain encoded by COL1A2. However, in cancer a homotrimeric form of collagen type I comprises three α1 chains encoded by COL1A1 was founded. There is still a lack of transcriptional and histologic
Conclusion
our research has led to the development of a novel gene signature that facilitates the detection of Homotrimer Collagen Type I. This may greatly assist efforts in cancer detection, prognosis, treatment response prediction, and further research into Homotrimer Collagen Type I.
