Stemness-related gene signatures as a predictive tool for breast cancer radiosensitivity by Jinzhi Lai, Rongfu Huang, Jingshan Huang

“…Key genes identified in the radiosensitivity signature were validated in vitro by qRT-PCR.ResultsBy analyzing gene expression data from 920 BRCA samples, we identified a set of 267 stemness-related genes between high and low mRNAsi groups. Based on these genes, a radiosensitivity signature comprising two stemness-related genes (EMILIN1 and CYP4Z1) was constructed, stratifying patients into radiosensitive (RS) and radioresistant (RR) groups. …”
