DEGs between lung adenocarcinoma and normal lung tissues for GSE40791. (a) Heat map for potential DEGs (n = 321) from males (lung adenocarcinoma n = 53, in blue; normal lung tissues n = 58, in yellow). (b) Heat map for potential DEGs (n = 463) from females (lung adenocarcinoma n = 41, in blue; normal lung tissues n = 42, in yellow). (c) Duplicate expressions with the same gene symbol and those without a specific gene symbol were removed; the Venn diagram shows DEGs (n = 223) from males, DEGs (n = 330) from females and the co-expressed genes (n = 211) that eliminated gender differences.
