      Oncogenic: The study indicates that CDCA2 acts as an oncogene, as it is overexpressed in prostate cancer and its silencing represses tumor growth, suggesting its role in tumor development and progression.

      Prognostic: The abstract mentions that CDCA2 correlates with poor prognosis and patient survival, indicating its potential as a prognostic biomarker in multiple cancer types.

      Prognostic evidence:

      Prognostic: The study indicates that HHLA2 levels were positively correlated with survival rates in kidney clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), suggesting that it may serve as a prognostic marker for patient outcomes independent of therapy. The mention of "predicts a favorable survival outcome" further supports this classification.

      Predictive, Oncogenic evidence:

      Oncogenic: The study indicates that Rab18 functions as an oncoprotein in human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), suggesting that it contributes to tumor development and progression. The mention of Rab18's role in regulating cell proliferation and invasion further supports its oncogenic potential.

      Predictive: The abstract states that Rab18 influences cisplatin sensitivity in HNSCC, indicating a correlation between the variant and response to a specific therapy. This suggests that Rab18 may play a role in determining how well patients respond to cisplatin treatment.
