Figure 3

Gene expression analysis by qRT-PCR of the eleven candidate genes located in the minimal common regions of Amp13q34. Relative expression levels of the candidate genes in two sample cohorts: breast tumors with no genomic aberration at 13q34 (grey), and breast tumors with Amp13q34 (black). The expression of the candidate genes was evaluated by real-time quantitative RT-PCR and normalized with a housekeeping gene (ACTB). P values are shown for those genes with statistically significant differences when comparing the two groups in a U-Mann Whitney Test (P < 0.05).
