  "abstract": "This study developed a polygenic risk model for breast cancer (BRCA) prognosis using gene expression and clinical data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between tumor and normal tissues were identified using the “limma” R package, yielding 1,000 DEGs (396 upregulated, 604 downregulated). Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and Lasso-Cox regression integrated ferroptosis- and iron metabolism-related genes, identifying eight key survival risk markers: ANO6, DPYD, MMD, EGR1, ACSL4, LIFR, PPARG, and CREB5. High-risk groups exhibited elevated ANO6, DPYD, and MMD expression, while EGR1, ACSL4, LIFR, PPARG, and CREB5 showed lower levels. Survival analysis confirmed that low ANO6 and high LIFR/PPARG expression correlated with prolonged survival, validated across cohorts. A nomogram incorporating these genes and clinical factors enabled personalized survival probability assessment. The eight-gene model independently stratified high- and low-risk BRCA patients, offering a reliable prognostic tool.",
