Disruption of Y chromosome expression in male lung cancer: discovery
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Lung cancer is the single most frequent cause of cancer death worldwide and is relatively more common in males. For reasons that are currently unknown, lung cancer is also associated with significantly worse outcomes in men than women. Here we examine the pulmonary transcriptome in lung cancer at a systems level through network analysis. We compare gene expression networks in affected and unaffected tissue derived from 126 patients with lung cancer. Examination of tissue-specific co-expression patterns reveals markedly poor preservation of a sex-associated gene co-expression network in tumor tissue.
