Then, we developed a novel prognostic model on the basis of 17 ARGs (BID, ATG4B, CASP4, ZFYVE1, PRKAR1A, CAPN10, NFKB1, NPC1, TP53INP2, ULK1, MAPK1, HSPA8, EIF2S1, CDKN2A, PTEN, BAG1, and BNIP3), all of which together could be the independent prognostic indicators for ccRCC patients. This evidence concerns the gene BNIP3 and nonpapillary renal cell carcinoma.
