  1. Top ranked 17 prognostic genes in ER+ breast cancer as determined by a meta-analysis of three major breast cancer data sets. We give the sign of their global average Cox-regression coefficient ('+' means upregulated in poor outcome tumors; '-' means downregulated in poor outcome tumors), cytoband position and selected abbreviated Gene Ontology.
