Abstract: Differential gene expression analysis using databases followed by overall survival (OS) analysis is currently used to identify different oncogenes and tumour suppressor genes. The present study identified coiled coiled domain containing protein 69 (CCDC69) as a tumour suppressor gene in breast cancer by differential gene expression analysis using TCGA dataset for breast adenocarcinoma (BRCA) followed by OS and relapse free survival (RFS)...
