Figure 2. Expression of CNS and cancer genes at physiological conditions.

Figure 2

Genes up-regulated (UP) in (A) Alzheimer’s, (B) Parkinson’s diseases and (C) Schizophrenia encode proteins that are poorly abundant under normal conditions11,12, while down-regulated genes (DOWN) show the opposite trend. Genes up-regulated (UP) in (D) Colorectal, (E) Lung and (F) Prostate cancer encode proteins that are highly abundant in normal conditions, while down-regulated genes (DOWN) show the opposite trend. As physiological concentrations of proteins are linked to their physico-chemical properties9,16,19, our findings reveal information on intrinsic features of disease-associated genes. The p-values are calculated with Kolmogorov-Smirnov test.
