Another study found that high FTO expression was directly related to poor OS in ER-negative BC patients and advanced BC patients (Niu et al., 2019), based on the Genomics Analysis and Visualization Platform.1 FTO gene polymorphisms, such as rs9939609 and rs1477196, were associated with the risk of BC (Gholamalizadeh et al., 2020). The gene discussed is FTO; the disease is breast cancer.
