Heatmap of genes found to be elevated in ACC by Giordano et al. study(Giordano et al., 2009). These genes also showed a higher expression level in most cell lines compared with normal adrenal tissue. Primary cultures of adrenal cells had a phenotype between normal adrenal tissue and the cell lines. The expression level of each gene was indicated by bar in the lower right-hand corner. PAC=primary adrenal cells; NA= normal adrenal tissue.
