A signature based on 11 autophagy genes for prognosis prediction of colorectal cancer

Association of risk score with several important immune checkpoints as well as tumor purity.
(A) Chord diagram illustrating the correlations between mRNA levels of 6 key immune checkpoint receptors and the risk scores. The more lines between risk score and mRNAs, the greater the correlation. (B) Violin plots showing mRNA levels of the immune checkpoints which had obviously different expressions in low- and high-risk groups. (C) Violin plots showing the tumor purity in low- and high-risk groups. P value was obtained using Wilcoxon rank sum test. (D) The proportion of MSI-L + MSI-H in the high-risk group was higher than that in the low-risk group.
