Pathways and genes differentially expressed in the motor cortex of patients with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Table 3 Comparison of expression ratios in motor cortex and spinal cord

Expression ratios for candidate genes identified in the present report (Motor Cortex) are compared to those found by Dangond et al. [4] (Spinal Cord), giving a correlation coefficient of r = 0.85. Spinal cord data were retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus Database (GEO, series GSE833) and processed as described in the Methods section.
== both tissues give the same result, differing ≤1.5-fold
= both tissues give the same result, differing >1.5-fold
<> both tissues give different results (up- vs. down-regulation or deregulation vs. constancy, defining constancy as a ≤1.5-fold deregulation)
