Multiple signatures of a disease in potential biomarker space : getting the signatures consensus and identification of novel biomarkers by Ow, Ghim Siong, Kuznetsov, Vladimir Andreevich

“…Practically, our results suggest that there is a stronger association of the IGF1 signature genes with the 70 BC rGSSs, than for the obesity-associated signature. Furthermore, both SC and SN genes, in both signatures could be considered as perspective prognostic biomarkers of BCs that stratify the patients onto low or high risks of cancer development.…”
