Assessing Associations between the AURKA-HMMR-TPX2-TUBG1 Functional Module and Breast Cancer Risk in BRCA1/2 Mutation Carriers

Gene expression interactions in breast cancer survival.
(A) Kaplan–Meier survival curves based on categorization of HMMR (probe NM_012484) and AURKA (NM_003600) expression in tertiles (low, medium or high expression). For simplicity, only the tertiles for “high” AURKA are shown. The tumours with high expression levels for both genes were not those with the poorest prognosis. (B) Kaplan–Meier survival curves based on categorization of HMMR (NM_012484) and TUBG1 (NM_016437) expression in tertiles (low, medium or high expression). For simplicity, only the tertiles for “high” HMMR are shown. The cases with high expression levels for both genes were those with the poorest prognosis.
