We obtained the 213 autophagy-related genes (ARGs) (Table S1) from the Human Autophagy Database (HADB, http://autophagy.lu/clustering/index.html, accessed on 1 May 2021) and merged them with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data of 403 BLCA samples on the Illumina HiSeq RNA-Seq platform from The Cancer Genome Atlas Urothelial Bladder Carcinoma (TCGA-BLCA) database. Here, SERPINA2 is linked to cancer.
