Elevated expression of the genes Discs large-associated protein 5 (DLGAP5), aurora kinase A (AURKA), ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 C (UBE2C), ribonucleotide reductase regulatory subunit M2(RRM2), kinesin family member 23(KIF23), kinesin family member 11(KIF11), non-structural maintenance of chromosome condensin 1 complex subunit G (NCAPG), ZW10 interactor (ZWINT), and denticleless E3 ubiquitin protein ligase homolog(DTL) are associated with poor OS of breast cancer patients. The gene discussed is DTL; the disease is breast carcinoma.
