In this study, 27 genes were chosen based on their differential expression in at least seven out of eight distinct carcinoma types analyzed (ANGPTL1, GSTM5, IQGAP3, UHRF1, CCBE1, MYBL2, CHRDL1, PKMYT1, ABCA8, CTHRC1, PKNOX2, UBE2C, DES, RELN, ADH1B, MT1M, CDT1, FAM111B, SFRP1, C7, GHR, LYVE1, IGSF10, MFAP4, RNF150, and HBB). The gene discussed is LYVE1; the disease is carcinoma.
