In the GDS4901 expression dataset analysed in this study, the LOX (1,97 FC; p < 0,001), LOXL1 (2,34 FC; p < 0,0001) and ELN (1,84 FC; p < 0,0001) genes were all up-regulated in tendinopathy (Supplementary Table 2), and FBLN5 is linked to tendinopathy through its role in extracellular matrix organisation in humans as well as in rat and mouse knockout models (Supplementary Table 1). The gene discussed is LOX; the disease is disease of the tendon.
