Identification of hub genes for early detection of bone metastasis in breast cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Globally, among all women, the most frequently detected and diagnosed and the most lethal type of cancer is breast cancer (BC). In particular, bone is one of the most frequent distant metastases 24in breast cancer patients and bone metastasis arises in approximately 80% of advanced patients. Thus, we need to identify and validate early detection markers that can differentiate metastasis from non-metastasis breast cancers.

Methods

GSE55715, GSE103357, and GSE146661 gene expression profiling data were downloaded from the GEO database. There was 14 breast cancer with bone metastasis samples and 8 breast cancer tissue samples. GEO2R was used to screen for differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The volcano plots, Venn diagrams, and annular heatmap were generated by usi
