Similar molecular signature of GR in epidermis, s.c. adipose and in muscle

Skin compartment	GEO	Study title	Organism	Similarity score	Q-value
Epidermis	GDS2688	Skeletal muscle response to chronic glucocorticoids	Rattus norvegicus	0.657	0.003
Epidermis	GDS3027	Duchenne muscular dystrophy	Homo sapiens	0.64	0.004

Gene expression in epidermis of wild-type mice treated with FA was analyzed by Illumina oligo arrays (as in Fig6). The gene expression changes in epidermis were compared to the gene expression profiles from publicly available experiments obtained from NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) by ProfileChaser software (Stanford University, http://profilechaser.stanford.edu/). The Similarity Score is a weighted Pearson correlation coefficient between arrays. Q-value = FDR, false discovery rate.
