Table 1 Five breast cancer data sets used in this study

Data set	Sample size	Cancer type	Microarray platform	Reference
Nejm	295	Primary invasive breast carcinoma	Agilent Hu25K	[7]
GSE1456	159	Primary breast cancer	Affymetrix Hu133A, Hu133B	[8]
GSE18229	372	Invasive breast carcinoma	Agilent 1A, Agilent custom array	[64]
GSE3143	158	Primary breast tumor	Affymetrix Hu95Av2	[65]
GSE4922	249	Primary breast cancer	Affymetrix Hu133A, Hu133B	[26]

The Nejm data set was used as the training data set for searching for network modules that are clinically significant, and the other four data sets were used as test data sets.
