Identification of potential pathogenic biomarkers in clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of the present study was to screen potential pathogenic biomarkers of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) via microarray analysis. The mRNA and microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles of GSE96574 and GSE71302 were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, as well as the methylation profile of GSE61441. A total of 5 ccRCC tissue samples and 5 normal kidney tissue samples were contained in each profile of GSE96574 and GSE71302, and 46 ccRCC tissue samples and 46 normal kidney tissue samples were involved in GSE61441. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and the differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) were obtained via limma package in ccRCC tissues compared with normal kidney tissues. The Two Sample t-test and the Beta distribution test were used to identif
