Background And Objective:
Ovarian cancer is a common gynaecological cancer with a poor prognosis that poses a serious threat to human life and health. It is essential to explore the possible prognostic biomarkers of ovarian cancer. As an important tumour suppressor gene, BCL7A actively participates in the growth of tumours. We aimed to study the prognostic role of BCL7A in ovarian cancer.
Results:
Through data mining of RNAseq data from the Cancer Genome Atlas database (TCGA), we explored the clinical relevance of BCL7A mRNA expression. As a result, we found that BCL7A is expressed at low levels in ovarian cancer tissues and is correlated with survival status. Survival analysis showed that, compared with those who had higher levels of BCL7A expression, patients with ovarian cancer and low levels of BCL7A generally had shorter overall/relapse-free survival times. Cox regression models showed that low BCL7A expression could be used as an independent prognostication factor for ovarian cancer patients.
Conclusions:
Low BCL7A expression is an independent risk factor for poor prognosis in ovarian cancer patients.

Prediction Intervals
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.
