- Greater expression stability is indicated by a lower stability value (M). Results for seven EC candidates are given as RNU19 was excluded from analysis due to its low expression in the breast tissues. For NormFinder analysis, breast tissue samples were grouped into metastases-free (MF), bone metastases (BM), visceral and bone metastases (VBM) and benign (BEN). The stability is calculated from the intra- and inter-group variation and the best combination of EC genes is also given. b GeNorm stability is based on an estimate of the pairwise variation (M).
