PBK and ductal breast carcinoma in situ: WGCNA revealed eight hub genes in the module, namely, CDK1, NUSAP1, CEP55, TOP2A, MELK, PBK, RRM2, and MAD2L1. Subsequent analysis of these hub genes revealed that their expression levels were lower in IDC tissues than in DCIS tissues, consistent with the expression trend of the module.
