Kaplan–Meier survival analysis of breast cancer patients with variable expression levels of CLINT1, INSL5, and OR52A1. Samples (n; sum of cases) were stratified into tertiles based on the expression level. Higher and medium CLINT1 expression is significantly associated with longer DMFS compared to lower expression. Lower expression of INSL5 and OR52A1 is associated with longer DMFS. DMFS stands for distant metastasis-free survival meaning the period until metastasis is detected. Samples were stratified into three quantiles based on gene expression, low (grey), medium (red), and high (sky-blue) with the log2 expression in the parenthesis. DMFS, distant metastasis-free survival.
