In conclusion, we identified a novel autophagy‐related prognostic risk model consisting of 11 lncRNAs (U62317.4, LINC01016, LINC02166, C6orf99, LINC00992, BAIAP2‐DT, AC245297.3, AC090912.1, Z68871.1, LINC00578 and LINC01871) in breast cancer. This evidence concerns the gene LINC01871 and breast cancer.
