12 upregulated hub genes (TOP2A, MAD2L1, FEN1, EPRS, EXO1, MCM4, PTTG1, RRM2, PSMD14, CDKN3, H2AFZ, CCNE2) and 4 downregulated hub genes (EGFR, FGF2, BCL2, PIK3R1) might serve as diagnosis and poor prognosis biomarkers in breast cancer in the future by more research validation. The gene discussed is MCM4; the disease is breast carcinoma.
