Tumor Suppressor Role of INPP4B in Chemoresistant Retinoblastoma

Table 3

Responsive gene selection (RGS) after INPP4B overexpression in etoposide resistant RB355 cells. Genes with positive fold change (FC) value represent upregulated genes after INPP4B overexpression, while negative FC values indicate downregulated genes.
