Gene expression variation to predict 10-year survival in lymph-node-negative breast cancer

BMC Cancer

Table 3 The genes used in Real-time RT-PCR.

Eight genes from the list of 51 genes (p < 0.001 and 80% presence) were selected together with six genes from the list with 94 genes (p < 0.01 and 100% presence), where p-values were below the significance level for the difference in average expression between 10 year survivors and deceased patients. Two genes were selected as reference genes since they had homogenous expression throughout the expression array analysis. The table also shows in which genes differences in expression between the two survival groups were validated using RT-PCR.
