Screening of potential hub genes and key pathways associated with breast cancer by bioinformatics tools.

ABSTRACT: Breast cancer (BC) remains the leading cause of cancer-related death in women worldwide. The development of new targeted therapies that may improve patient survival remains an area of growing interest. This study aimed to identify new biomarkers involved in BC progression that could be used as potential targeted therapies. DEGs were selected from three gene expression profiles, GSE55715, GSE124646, and GSE87049, using the GEO2R tool and Venn diagram software. Gene Ontology and KEGG pathways were then performed using DAVID software. Next, the PPI network was constructed using STRING and visualized using Cytoscape software, and hub genes were extracted using the cytoHubba plug-in. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier Plotter, while the expression of hub genes in BC was veri
