Objective Previous studies have shown that tumor mutation burden (TMB) in cancer is associated with prognosis. The purpose of this study is to identify TMB related genes in gastric cancer (GC) and to explore their prognostic value. Methods In our research, weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) algorithm was used to cluster the most relevant TMB modules in the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Limma package was used to screen the differentially expressed genes, and the intersection was identified as hub genes. We used gene expression profiling interactive analysis (GEPIA) and survival algorithm to analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of hub genes in tumor and normal tissue samples of TCGA and Gene Expression Omnibus cohort respectively. We also used CIBERSORT algorithm to calculate the proportion of 22 tumor immune cells in the high and low expression subgroups of hub genes. In addition, we used gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) to predict the biological function of hub genes.  P  &lt; 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results In the TCGA cohort, TMB was significantly correlated with the clinical features of GC ( P    1, and mm &gt; 0.8). We found that the expression of SCN7A in tumor tissues was lower than that in normal tissues, and its expression level was also related to overall survival rate and tumor stage. GSEA analysis showed that SCN7A low expression group was enriched with "DNA replication", "base extension repair" and "proteasome" gene sets in GC. In addition, we found that there were significant differences in the infiltration degree of 7 kinds of immune cells between the two groups. Conclusion TMB can indicate the prognosis of gastric cancer. SCN7A is a hub gene associated with TMB, and its low expression is associated with better prognosis.
