Functional categories of these SAM-selected significant transcripts detected by DAVID functional annotation clustering indicated enrichment (p < 0.05) for genes involved in defense response (p < 0.001), immune response (p = 0.003), cell growth (p = 0.001), signal transduction (p = 0.01), apoptosis (p = 0.01), regulation of cell cycle (p = 0.02), JAK-STAT cascade (p = 0.004), T-cell receptor signaling pathway (p = 0.01), GTPase activity (p = 0.008), and type 1 diabetes mellitus (p = 0.002). The gene discussed is SOAT1; the disease is diabetes mellitus.
