a

Diff exp genes indicates the total number of genes differentially expressed on the array in that category.

b

Up-reg and down-reg indicate the total number of up and down regulated genes respectively in older population.

c

Tot on array indicates the total number of genes on the array in that onctological category.

d

z-score-up and z-score-down indictae the z-score for that category.
