Gene expression analysis of whole blood samples from patients with single and double primary tumors and healthy controls

ABSTRACT: RNA samples from the blood of patients with double tumors, single tumors and from healthy control subjects are studied by gene expression analysis using the whole genome microarray platform AB1700 from Applied Biosystems. Gene expression profiles are derived from the microarray raw data by biostatistical analysis. Differential gene expression between the study subgroups and categories is assessed: On the one hand, all possible pairwise comparisons between the subgroups A, B, C, D, E and N are made in order to elucidate characteristics of the individual subgroups. On the other hand, the higher-ranked categories “double cancer” (AB, consisting of subgroups A and B) and “single cancer” (category CDE, consisting of subgroups C, D and E) are compared to each other and to the normal contro
