Table 8. Function, related diseases and description of the most significant (upregulated).

Genes Full name Function Related diseases and description
PEG3 Paternally Expressed Gene 3 • protein coding gene. • Hypermethylation of PEG3 is linked to epigenetics mechanism and HPV infection in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and Invasive Cervical Cancer. (Nye et al., 2013)
• Cell proliferation and p53-mediated apoptosis. (Yamaguchi et al., 2002)
• Involvement in the glioma and ovarian cancers (Jiang et al., 2010)
SPON1 F-spondin 1 • extracellular matrix organization regulation, interaction between cells and axon guidance (Burstyn-Cohen et al., 1999) • Showed extreme expression activities in the identification of colorectal biomarkers (Pagnotta et al., 2013)
• Down regulation activity in the cervical cell carcinoma (Zhai et al., 2010)
BTD bitonidase • gene expression, proliferation and differentiation of cells, gene signaling (Faith & Abraham, 2013) • gene expression signature that marks pelvic lymph node metastasis (PLNM) in cervical carcinoma (Huang et al., 2011)
• Involvement in thyroid and lung cancers (So et al., 2012; Scheerger & Zempleni, 2003)
• Potential serological marker in breast cancer plasma (Kang et al., 2010)
RPLP2 Ribosomal Protein Lateral Stalk Subunit P2 • encodes a 60s subunit ribosomal protein. • prognostic marker for gastric cancer (Zhang et al., 2011)
• involved in the carcinogenesis and progression of various cancers (Sharp et al., 1990)
• associated with other ribosomal protein genes with colorectal carcinomas (CRC) (Mao-De & Jing, 2007)
