Integrated analyses of copy number variations and gene expression in lung adenocarcinoma. by Tzu-Pin Lu, Liang-Chuan Lai, Mong-Hsun Tsai, Pei-Chun Chen, Chung-Ping Hsu, Jang-Ming Lee, Chuhsing Kate Hsiao, Eric Y Chuang

“…We demonstrated the reproducibility of these genes in another lung cancer study (p = 0.0034, Fisher's exact test), and showed the concordance between copy number variations and gene expression changes by elevated Pearson correlation coefficients. Pathway analysis revealed two major dysregulated functions in lung tumorigenesis: survival regulation via AKT signaling and cytoskeleton reorganization. …”
