However, within tumor samples, identical expression patterns were seen in KIF10, KIF11, KIF14, KIF15, KIF18A, KIF18B, KIF20A, KIF20B, KIF23, KIF4A and KIFC1 with significantly high expression in Basal-like and Luminal B subtypes comparing to Luminal A breast cancer (Fig. 1a, Additional file 3). This evidence concerns the gene KIF14 and breast carcinoma.
