Background/Aim: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains difficult to treat and new molecular targets are needed. Here, we investigated the impact of glycosyltransferase genes on TNBC patient survival. Patients and Methods: mRNA expression levels of 101 glycosyltransferase genes in TNBC patients were compared for correlation with patient survival using The Cancer Genome Atlas data. An antibody to beta-3-N-acetylgluco-saminyltransferase 8 (B3GNT8) was applied to investigate B3GNT8 protein distribution and expression levels in 23 TNBC surgical specimens. Results: B3GNT8 mRNA levels inversely correlated with relapse-free survival (p
