A Combined Effect of Expression Levels of Obesity-Related Genes and Clinical Factors on Cancer Survival Rate

Figure 1

Differences in expression levels of obesity-related genes between cancer tissues and normal tissues. (a) Comparing the expression levels of obesity-related genes in different tissues for different types of cancer. Blue (denoted as -1) and red (denoted as 1) colors represent that the expression levels of the obesity-related genes in cancer tissues were higher and lower than those in the normal tissues, respectively. (b) value was plotted in a log10 scale. The red (denoted as 5) indicates insignificant difference in expression levels of obesity-related genes between cancer tissues and normal tissues. Other colors represent the value in a log10 scale. (c) Integration of (a) and (b). Comparing the expression levels of obesity-related genes in normal tissues, red () and blue () indicated significant upregulation and downregulation of expression levels of obesity-related genes in cancer tissues. Moreover, yellow () and brown () colors mean the existence of insignificant difference between expression levels of obesity-related genes in different tissues. (d) The same as (c) when value was set to ≤1-10.
