The present invention relates to the identification of polypeptides, proteins and protein isoforms that are associated with breast cancer and its onset and development, and of genes encoding the same, and to their use for e.g., clinical screening, diagnosis, prognosis, therapy and prophylaxis, as well as for drug screening and drug development. La présente invention concerne l'identification de polypeptides, de protéines et d'isoformes de protéines qui sont associés au cancer du sein, à son apparition et à son développement, l'identification de gènes codant ces derniers, ainsi que leur utilisation dans le cadre, par exemple, d'un criblage clinique, d'un diagnostic, d'un pronostic, d'une thérapie, d'une prophylaxie, d'un criblage de médicaments et d'une mise au point de médicaments.
