Breast Carcinoma
0.400 Biomarker disease BEFREE AP-2alpha/beta significantly correlated with YY1 and both markers were increased in luminal oestrogen receptor (ER) positive tumours of small size and low grade but only AP-2alpha/beta correlated with good prognosis breast cancer specific survival and disease free interval (BCSS and DFI). 20025767 2009

Breast Carcinoma
0.400 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE In distinct contrast, TFAP2A, a related factor expressed in breast cancer, was not involved in estrogen-mediated pathways but regulated expression of genes controlling cell cycle arrest and apoptosis including p21(CIP1) and IGFBP-3. 17875680 2007
