We screened gene modules related to the prognosis of osteosarcoma patients by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and obtained 9 common genes by hybridizing with differential expressed genes (DEGs). The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis was used to construct the risk and prognosis model of osteosarcoma patients. The prognostic factor PARM1 of osteosarcoma patients was obtained by survival analysis, and then the low expression of PARM1 in osteosarcoma cells was verified by cell experiments. Pan-cancer analysis showed that PARM1 is under-expressed in most cancers, and low expression of PARM1 predicts poor patient prognosis. Therefore, our study suggests that PARM1 is closely related to the prognosis of patients with osteosarcoma, and PARM1 may serve as a new potential prognostic target for osteosarcoma and provide guidance for the prevention and treatment of osteosarcoma.
