Figure 1

Density distribution of SEP scores. SEP of breast cancer patients was calculated with microarray data published by van' t Veer et al. (A) The distribution of all 78 scores was plotted altogether. SEP was calculated with 231 genes correlated to 5-year recurrence outcome with |r| > 0.3 according to the original study. (B) The score distributions of 44 good prognosis patients and 34 prognosis patients were separately plotted. Good prognosis patients were expected to have higher SEP scores. (C) The score distributions of good and poor prognosis patients were plotted again after confounding effect of ER status was removed by partial correlation analysis. SEP was calculated with 127 genes correlated to 5-year outcome with |r'| > 0.3.
