            Figure 3. Mutation status of HMGB1 in TCGA tumors. Mutation status of HMGB1 in TCGA tumors was analyzed using the cBioPortal tool. The alteration
            frequency with mutation type (A) and mutation site (B) is displayed. (C) Mutation site (R163*/Q) within the HMG-box domain is shown in the 3D
            structure of HMGB1. (D) Analysis of the correlation between mutation status and PFS, OS, DSS, and DFS of UCEC using the cBioPortal tool.
            HMGB1: High mobility group box 1; TCGA: The Cancer Genome Atlas; PFS: Progression-free survival, OS: Overall survival, DSS: Disease-specific
            survival; DFS: Disease-free survival; UCEC: Uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma.
