Univariate analysis (Table 1) suggested that DDX27 was positively associated with larger tumor size (p = 0.0005), positive lymph nodes (p = 0.0008), higher histological grade (p = 0.0040), higher ki-67 (p = 0.0063) and later TNM stage (p < 0.0001) in 165 breast cancer patients. The gene discussed is DDX27; the disease is neoplasm.
