Hierarchical clustering of wt-HER2, delta-HER2 and pSRC, and association with clinicopathological factors. (A) Unsupervised hierarchical clustering of wt-HER2 and delta-HER2 and pSRC separated the breast cancer cases into three major clusters. The levels of (B) wt-HER2 mRNA and (C) delta-HER2 mRNA were significantly higher in clusters 2 and 3 (*P<0.05 vs. cluster 1, **P<0.05 vs. cluster 2). (D) The delta/wt ratio tended to be higher and (E) Ki-67 index tended to be lower in cluster 1, compared with in clusters 2 and 3. HER2, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2; pSRC, phosphorylated-SRC; wt, wild type.
