Identification of Lung-Cancer-Related Genes with the Shortest Path Approach in a Protein-Protein Interaction Network

Table 3

Comparing the overlap between candidate genes with cancer-related genes.

Gene set	Number of candidate genes	Overlap with 742 cancer genes	P value
NSCLC from array	1825	93
NSCLC in our study	25	6	3.858𝑒−03
SCLC from array	1063	69
SCLC in our study	38	5	0.186

P value was calculated with Fisher’s exact test.
