Precise interpretation of the association between breast cancer and our independently verified genes, which include GSTZ1, BCL2, MPHOSPH6, SRPK1, MCM5, BTG2, SKP2, DUSP7, NRTN, MTL5, NDRG1, and MT1X, is beyond the scope of the present study. This evidence concerns the gene NDRG1 and breast carcinoma.
