Figure 2: Gene expression analysis for novel BCC susceptibility loci.
From: Genome-wide association study identifies 14 novel risk alleles associated with basal cell carcinoma
Processed microarray expression data were obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus (GSE53462, blue, and GSE7553, orange). Transcript levels in BCC samples were compared to levels in normal skin controls via Geo2R. Three genes—FOXP1, TNS3 and CASC15—were significantly upregulated in BCC relative to normal skin (P<0.05, linear models for microarray analysis) in both data sets.
