Integrative analysis of prognostic value and immune infiltration of spindle and kinetochore-associated family members in breast cancer

Spindle and kinetochore associated (SKA) complex subunit, which maintains the stability of mitotic metaphase, with emerging research implying its effect as a carcinogenic regulator in cancer. However, its potential role in BC has not been fully elucidated. ONCOMINE, UALCAN, GEPIA, Kaplan-Meier Plott...
