Given a passage with a question and an answer to that question, classify if the answer actually answers the question into 'yes' or 'no'. Output 'yes' if the answer answers the question and output 'no' if the answer does not answer the question.

[EX Q]: Question: Is high salt intake associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular events : a 7.2-year evaluation of a cohort of hypertensive patients?
Answer: In a cohort of hypertensive patients, high salt intake independently predicts the occurrence of CV events, particularly of stroke.
[EX A]: yes

[EX Q]: Question: Is hIC2 a novel dosage-dependent regulator of cardiac development located within the distal 22q11 deletion syndrome region?
Answer: Our results demonstrate a novel role for Hic2 in cardiac development. Hic2 is the first gene within the distal 22q11 interval to have a demonstrated haploinsufficient cardiac phenotype in mice. Together our data suggest that HIC2 haploinsufficiency likely contributes to the cardiac defects seen in distal 22q11 deletion syndrome.
[EX A]: yes

[EX Q]: Question: Do changes in aldehyde dehydrogenase-1 expression during neoadjuvant chemotherapy predict outcome in locally advanced breast cancer?
Answer: ALDH1 expression is a useful predictor of chemoresistance. The up-regulation of ALDH1 after NAC predicts poor survival in locally advanced breast cancer. Although the chemotherapy sequence had no effect on overall prognosis, our results suggest that anthracycline-based chemotherapy may be more effective at targeting ALDH1(+) breast cancer cells.
[EX A]:
yes
