Identification of key genes and microRNAs involved in kidney Wilms tumor by integrated bioinformatics analysis.

ABSTRACT: Wilms tumor (WT) is one of the most common types of pediatric solid tumors; however, its molecular mechanisms remain unclear. The present study aimed to identify key genes and microRNAs (miRNAs), and to predict the underlying molecular mechanisms of WT using integrated bioinformatics analysis. Original gene expression profiles were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO; accession, GSE66405) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) databases. Similarly, miRNA expression patterns were downloaded from GEO (accession, GSE57370) and TCGA. R version 3.5.0 software was used to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) using the limma and edgeR packages. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway and Gene Ontology analyses were performed to
