Table 2.
Overlap between candidate genes and cancer-related genes.
| Gene set | Number of candidate genes | Overlap with 742 cancer genes | P value |
|---|---|---|---|
| NSCLC from array | 1825 | 93 | 6.698e − 04 |
| SCLC from array | 1063 | 69 | 2.218e − 06 |
| NSCLC in our study | 25 | 6 | 2.518e − 05 |
| SCLC in our study | 38 | 5 | 2.559e − 03 |
P value was calculated with the hypergeometric test assuming the total number of protein-coding genes was 20000.
