AIRE expression analysis in TCGA breast cancer dataset and clinical association of AIRE expression status with RFS. Frequency of AIRE transcript in breast cancer cases from the TCGA data set (n = 1036) (A). Kaplan-Meier relapse-free survival curves of TCGA breast cancer patients are stratified by their expression levels of AIRE: cases were classified as AIRE positive or -negative according to whether the expression of AIRE gene was revealed in the dataset (A). Log-rank test p-values were: 0.0456 considering all cases (B).
