Development of an Autophagy Score Signature for Predicting Overall Survival in Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma

Figure 1

Analysis of 6-mRNA risk score in TCGA patients. The distribution of 6-mRNA risk score, OS status, and mRNA expression profiles were analyzed in TCGA patients (). (a) Six autophagy-related genes’ risk score distribution; (b) patient’s status and time. The dashed line in the middle divides the patients into the low-risk and high-risk groups. Patients in the high-risk group had higher survival rate (133/142 vs. 109/142, ) and shorter overall survival times (log rank ). (c) Heat map of six autophagy-related genes’ expression profiles. As the risk score increased, the expression of BCL2 and HGS decreased and the remaining four mRNAs increased. The line represents the autophagy-related genes in the signal, and the column represents the patient.
