HBEGF and breast neoplasm: Having established a role of the BHLHE40-HBEGF axis in enhancing cell survival and migration, we sought to examine the association of BHLHE40 and HBEGF with clinical characteristics of breast tumors using the gene expression data in the Kaplan-Meier plotter database, which contains the Affymetrix microarray expression data of 2178 breast cancer patients [37].
