DEGs between lung adenocarcinoma and normal lung tissues for GSE10072. (a) Heat map for potential DEGs (n = 76) from males (lung adenocarcinoma n = 35, in blue; normal lung tissues n = 34, in yellow). (b) Heat map for potential DEGs (n = 87) from females (lung adenocarcinoma n = 23, in blue; normal lung tissues n = 15, 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 = 52) from males, DEGs (n = 65) from females and the co-expressed genes (n = 46) that eliminated gender differences.
