Among which, only 4 KIFs (KIF17, KIF26A, KIF7, KIFC3) showed decreased expression in tumor samples while 16 KIFs (KIF10, KIF11, KIF14, KIF15, KIF18A, KIF18B, KIF20A, KIF20B, KIF22, KIF23, KIF24, KIF26B, KIF2C, KIF3B, KIF4A, KIFC1) significantly overexpressed in breast cancer (Fig. 1b, P < 0.001). This evidence concerns the gene KIF18A and breast cancer.
