Other genes including SLC39A1 [HR = 1.15(0.93–1.42), P=0.21], SLC39A8 [HR = 1.13(0.9–1.41), P=3E-07], SLC39A9 [HR = 1.17(0.94–1.45), P=0.15], SLC39A10 [0.73(0.52–1.02), P=0.062] and SLC39A11 [HR = 0.75(0.54–1.05), P=0.093] were not associated with the OS of BC patients. This evidence concerns the gene SLC39A10 and breast cancer.
