Differentially expressed BCL-2 genes in breast cancer subtypes.

The logFC is indicated in the table, all the results refer to an FDR < 0.05. Empty lines indicate that the gene is not differentially expressed in the corresponding comparison. BCL2A1 results the only pro-survival BCL-2 gene which is up-regulated in the majority of the comparisons. We notice that one of the main pro-survival genes, i.e. BCL-2 is mostly down-regulated in the TCGA-BRCA samples with HER2 and Basal subtypes. We do not report the comparison between LumA and LumB since none of the BCL-2 family members is deregulated in this comparison.
