1

− hazard genes: number of genes that have a negative association between the hazard of ovarian cancer death (higher survival) or recurrence and expression.

2

+ hazard genes: number of genes that have a positive association between the hazard of ovarian cancer death (lower survival) or recurrence and expression.

3

Loge(Odds Ratio): values >1 indicate that the category was more enriched among the genes that have a negative association with hazard than among the genes that have a positive association with hazard; values <1 indicate that the category was more enriched among the genes that have a positive association with hazard than among the genes that have a negative association with hazard; Extreme values indicate higher difference in the enrichment percentages between the negative and positive association groups. Values close to zero indicate similar enrichment percentages between positive and negative association groups.

FDR-adjusted P-value: False discovery rate adjusted P-value of the log odds ratio test. Enrichment at FDR-adjusted Pvalue <0.05) and ≥75 genes in the category.
