The top ten genes representing each of the groups Gup-positive and Gdown-negative, associated with variations in survival outcomes in ordinary-luminal breast cancer patients in the METABRIC training set, are listed in the second column. Gup-positive genes are up-regulated in luminal tumours when compared to controls, and their over-expression is also associated with worse prognosis. Gdown-negative are down-regulated relative to controls, and their decreased levels are correlated to lower survival rates. The Log-rank test p-values (pSurvival) reflect the survival stratification power of each single probe based on two groups of patients of the same size (section Survival Filter). P-values in the last column (pDifference) were calculated using the Wilcoxon test, representing probes separation power between the clusters of luminal samples defined in section Defining a Molecular Signature of Patients at Risk.
