In order to access the discriminatory ability of identified genes in the TFs and PPI network, eight genes including NELL2, CCR7, MGAM, HBB, CSNK2A2, ZBTB16, FOXO1 and PDGFA were applied to ROC curve analyses among AAA tissues and adjacent non-tumor tissues in GEO database. This evidence concerns the gene NELL2 and neoplasm.
