Table 4

A partial list of diseases that may be affected by LE. The top ten diseases identified by MetaCore tool in the microarray data set of MiaPaCa-2 cells treated with LE are listed in this table. The list is arranged per descending value. The number of genes in the uploaded microarray data versus the genes cataloged in MetaCore disease biomarker enrichment database is indicated as ratio.
