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. Here, ULK1 is linked to nonpapillary renal cell carcinoma.
