The signature of SARS-CoV-2-related genes predicts the immune therapeutic response and prognosis in breast cancer.

ABSTRACT: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is an exceptionally contagious single-stranded RNA virus with a strong positive contagion. The COVID-19 pandemic refers to the swift worldwide dissemination of SARS-CoV-2 infection, which began in late 2019. The COVID-19 epidemic has disrupted many cancer treatments. A few reports indicate that the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 has disrupted the treatment of breast cancer patients (BCs). However, the role of SARS-CoV-2 in the occurrence and prognosis of BC has not been elucidated. Here, we applied bioinformatics to construct a prognostic signature of SARS-CoV-2-related genes (SCRGs). Specifically, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was utilized to extract co-expressed genes of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in
