Immunohistochemical analysis of CaMKK2 expression in human breast cancer tissue microarrays, from two independent datasets (8 and Roswell Park Cancer Institute, RPCI). CaMKK2 expression was determined to be low (<2) or high (> = 2), and correlated with molecular subtypes: triple negative (TN), luminal A (LA), and luminal B (LB). Fisher’s exact test was used to determine p-values for the likelihood of association
