We carried out this study taking advantageof the available high-throughput technology and multi-genes prediction methods forHCC survival [25–27].According to the relative transcription levels of eight autophagy-related genes(VPS35, VPS26A, PRKCD, BIRC5, HMOX1, VEGFA, WAC, FEZ2) in TCGA cohort, weestablished an HCC prognostic risk model. The gene discussed is FEZ2; the disease is hepatocellular carcinoma.
