Comparisons with other GC sources in terms of upregulated EGC-related genes.
| Refs. | EGC classification | na | xb | Significance (P-value)c |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (2) | - | 488 | 83 | <2.2E-16 |
| (7) | Well-differentiated (WD) and moderately differentiated (MD) | 170 | 62 | <2.2E-16 |
| (8) | AJCC staging I and II (TNM staging) | 118 | 15 | 1.601E-06 |
a
The number of upregulated genes in the cancer according to the references.
b
The number of common upregulated genes (intersection) between the references and ours.
c
The significance of the intersections between our EGC upregulated genes and the studies were calculated. Fisher’s exact test, based on the randomization model, was used to obtain the P-values of the intersections from a hyper-geometric distribution. The smaller the P-value, the more significant the agreement between the previous study and our EGC study. The total number of gene symbols used in the Fisher’s exact test is 19,211 (HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee).
