Tumoral LC3A positivity was significantly associated with higher histologic grade (P<0.001), higher Ki-67 LI (P<0.001), AR negativity (P<0.001), and HER-2 negativity (P<0.001), while stromal LC3A positivity showed a significant relationship with HER-2 positivity (P<0.001). The gene discussed is MAP1LC3A; the disease is neoplasm.
