Through a combination of previous research and bioinformatics tools, we determined 35 NSCLC candidate genes. We analyzed these genes in 3 different approaches. First, we found the gene fusions between these candidate genes. Second, we found the common superfamilies between genes. Finally, we identified mutational signatures that are possibly associated with NSCLC. Each approach has its individual, unique results. Fusion relationships identify specific gene fusion targets, common superfamilies identify possible avenues to determine novel target genes, and identifying NSCLC associated mutational signatures has diagnostic and prognostic benefits. Combining the approaches, we found that gene CD74 has significant fusion relationships, but it has no association with the other two approaches, suggesting that CD74 is associated with NSCLC mainly because of its fusion relationships. Targeting the gene fusions of CD74 may be an alternative NSCLC treatment. This genetic analysis has indeed created unique insight into NSCLC genes.

To address this, our study delved into the comprehensive analysis of NAA40 in the context of cancer. Our pan-cancer analysis unveiled elevated NAA40 expression in multiple tumor types, including BLCA, BRCA, CHOL, COAD, ESCA, HNSC, LIHC, LUAD, LUSC, STAD, and THCA. Additionally, through a comprehensive examination across various cancer types within TCGA, we discovered that high NAA40 gene expression correlated with poor prognosis in HCC, pointing toward its role in promoting oncogenesis. Further investigation illuminated the association of increased NAA40 expression with T stage, pathologic stage, tumor status, and histologic grade. Interestingly, we noted a significant inverse correlation between NAA40 expression and the infiltration levels of immune cells, such as DC cells, neutrophils, NK cells, and T cells, in liver cancer. This observation underpins the hypothesis that NAA40 influences HCC development by modulating immune cell infiltration. Functional enrichment analysis provided valuable insights into the pathways influenced by NAA40.
