The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analyzed in TCGA-CRC samples. Using MFRGs scores as traits, key module genes associated with its scores were screened by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). Then, differentially expressed MFRGs (DE-MFRGs) were obtained by intersecting DEGs and key module genes. Next, DE-MFRGs were subjected to univariate Cox, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), multivariate Cox and stepwise regression analysis to scree hub genes and to construct the risk model. The risk model was validated in <jats:uri xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" xlink:href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/geo\/query\/acc.cgi?acc=GSE103479\">GSE103479<\/jats:uri>. Finally, the hub genes were comprehensively investigated through a multi-faceted approach encompassing clinical characteristic analysis, Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA), immune infiltration analysis, and drug sensitivity prediction. Subsequently, the expression levels of the identified key genes were validated utilizing quantitative real-time fluorescence PCR (qRT-PCR), reinforcing the findings and ensuring their accuracy.<\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec>\n            <jats:sec>\n               <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n               <jats:p>The 49 DE-MFRGs were gained by intersecting 3,310 DEGs and 1,952 key module genes.
