Eleven transcription regulators (ATF3, BATF, ESR1, FOXA1, GTF2B, IKZF1, IRF1, JUNB, KDM1A, MAX and STAT2) had a hazard ratio less than 1, suggesting that higher activity of these transcription regulators in breast tumors might be beneficial for patient survival. This evidence concerns the gene IRF1 and breast neoplasm.
