CDKN2A-mediated molecular subtypes characterize the hallmarks of tumor microenvironment and guide precision medicine in triple-negative breast cancer.

ABSTRACT: Currently, breast cancer (BRCA) has become the most common cancer in the world, whose pathological mechanism is complex. Among its subtypes, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has the worst prognosis. With the increasing number of diagnosed TNBC patients, the urgent need of novel biomarkers is also rising. Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A) has recently emerged as a key regulator associated with ferroptosis and cuproptosis (FAC) and has exhibited a significant effect on BRCA, but its detailed mechanism remains elusive. Herein, we conducted the first converge comprehensive landscape analysis of FAC-related gene CDKN2A in BRCA and disclosed its prognostic value in BRCA. Then, an unsupervised cluster analysis based on CDKN2A-correlated genes unveiled three subtypes, namely cold-i
