(a) The connection between clinical factors and mRNAsi expression. The results demonstrate that mRNAsi correlated significantly with the patient T and stage classifications. (b) The heatmap of top 20 upregulated and downregulated DEGs between the BC and normal samples. (c) The different expression transcriptional levels of 38 key genes in cancers and normal samples. All key genes had significantly higher expressions in BC tissues. (d) The heatmap of key genes in the turquoise module.
