Zusammenfassung
Plexins, cell-surface receptors for semaphorins, are widely expressed in diverse epithelial cells and involved in cell adhesion and migration as well as in normal and malignant tissue. In previous work we could demonstrate for the first time that loss of plexinB1 expression is associated with poor outcome breast cancer patients. The goal of this work was an independent validation of plexinB1 expression in a large scale microarray data set of n=1137 breast cancer patients. PlexinB1 is strongly correlated with ER status (Mann Whitney p
