GATA3 somatic mutations are associated with clinicopathological features and expression profile in TCGA breast cancer patients

Abstract The effect of somatic mutations and the gene expression profiles on the prognosis is well documented in cancer research. This study was conducted to evaluate the association of GATA3 somatic mutations with tumor features, survival, and expression profiles in breast cancer. Clinicopathologic...
