Abstract
Identifying differentially expressed genes and co-expression modules lead to novel biomarkers. GO, pathway enrichment, network, and tumor stage analysis of 318 ovarian cancer samples from TCGA, categorised into primary and recurrent, pre-menopause and post-menopause, and early and late stage tumors was performed. Upregulated and downregulated genes in primary vs recurrent, early stage vs late-stage and pre-menopause vs post-menopause tumors were 84 and 62, 84 and 35, and 88 and 14, respectively. IRAK2 and CXCL8 had higher expression in recurrent tumors while REG1A had higher expression in post-menopause samples. In late stage tumors constant expression of IRAK2 and REG1A was observed, while that of CXCL8 and EGF decreased. These genes may be potential biomarkers for the diagnosis of the disease.
