The effort was performed to identify prognostic autophagy-related genes (ARGs) and AR-lncRNAs to predict clinical outcomes in HNSCC (76) and indeed six differentially expressed ARGs (CXCR4, MAP2K7, RAB5A, ST13, MYC and SAR1A) and 13 AR-lncRNAs were identified. The gene discussed is SERPINA2; the disease is head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
