Autophagy-related protein expression was associated with BRAF V600E mutation in epilepsy associated glioneuronal tumors.

•We are aiming to explore the expression level of autophagy-related proteins in epileptic patients with glioneuronal tumors (GNTs) and evaluate the association with clinicopathological features.•High expression of LC3B and Beclin-1 proteins was significantly associated with BRAF V600E mutation in GNTs.•Autophagy-related proteins did not show any association with other studied clinicopathological features, including postoperative seizure outcome.
