"Histologic tumor grade is a well-established prognostic factor for breast cancer, and tumor grade - associated genes are the common denominator of many prognostic gene signatures. The objectives of this study are as follows: (a) to develop a simple gene expression index for tumor grade (molecular grade index or MGI), and (b) to determine whether MGI and our previously described HOXB13:IL17BR index together provide improved prognostic information," investigators in the United States report. "From our previously published list of genes whose expression correlates with both tumor grade and tumor stage progression, we selected five cell cycle - related genes to build MGI...
