Immune microenvironment heterogeneity reveals distinct subtypes in neuroblastoma: insights into prognosis and therapeutic targets

class="figure-viewer-img"

Figure 2. Consensus clustering identified three novel subtypes based on Fges activity scores. (A) Heatmap shows the consensus clustering matrix of the TARGET-NB cohort based on the activity score of Fges. (B) KM curve shows that the three Fges-derived subtypes exhibit significant differences in prognosis. P-value was obtained by log-rank test. (C) Box plot shows the distribution of activity scores of Fges in three Fges-derived subtypes. P-value was obtained by Wilcoxon rank-sum test. ****p < 0.0001. (D) Sankey plot shows the associations between the Fges-derived subtypes and clinical features, including gender, COG risk groups, survival status, and INSS stages. (E) Forest plot shows the independent effect of Fges-derived subtypes, along with other clinical features as well as classical groupings, on the prognosis of patients with neuroblastoma. This was determined through multivariate Cox regression analysis.
