Abstract excerpt
Autophagy-related genes (ATGs) play a critical role in the development of various diseases including cancer. However, the role of ATGs in breast cancer survival remains unclear. This study aims to investigate whether genetic variants in core ATGs are correlated with the prognosis of breast cancer. A total of 14 potentially functional variants in core ATGs were genotyped in 790 breast cancer patients. The...
