This study aimed to examine the genetic variation of matriptase (ST14 gene) and HAI-1 (SPINT1 gene) in breast cancer risk and prognosis, to assess matriptase and HAI-1 gene and protein expression in breast tumors, and to identify their clinicopathologic correlations and prognostic significance.
To explore the clinical relevance of our model, we examined expression levels of three genes involved in activation of the MSP signaling pathway (MSP, MT-SP1, and MST1R) in human breast tumors.
