KNTC1 functions as a potential biomarker and oncogene regulating proliferation, migration and apoptosis in gastric cancer

As one of the most prevalent cancers, gastric cancer (GC) exhibits a remarkably high morbidity and mortality rate. To date, effective diagnostic and prognostic markers and therapeutic targets for GC are still lacking. Kinetochore associated 1 (KNTC1) is one of the proteins involved in chromosome segregation. However, the diagnostic and prognostic value of KNTC1 and its biological function in GC remain unknown.
