Unsupervised clustering of the study cohort. Hierarchical clustering using 276 HRT associated genes in ER positive tumors (n = 72). Each column corresponds to a patient, each row to a gene; expression level is indicated on a color scheme from green/low to red/high. Patients are labeled according to HRT use, recurrence-free survival (= recurrence, defined as distant metastases or death within 5 years of diagnosis), Elston grade 3, lymph node status, and ER level measured on the protein level. Gray symbols indicate missing values.
