Note: DFS: disease free survival; ER: estrogen receptor; PR: progesterone receptor; MT: mutation, WT: wild type; A: Anthracycline; T: Taxol; CT: chemotherapy; ET: endocrintherapy; IV: initially advanced disease; If one patients has more than one of same gene mutation but not same site will only count once.
