DNA microarray data integration by ortholog gene analysis reveals potential molecular mechanisms of estrogen-dependent growth of human uterine fibroids

Table 1 Published DNA microarray experiments

Species	Tissue	Chip Used	Sample Size	No of Genes Identified	References
Human	Uterine fibroids and normal myometrium	HG-U95A HuGeneFL	9 pairs	106^a	[14]
		HuGeneFL	7 pairs	68	[17]
		HG-U133A	5 pairs	226^b	[18]
Rat	Uteri from vehicle and estrogen treated animals	RG-U34A	5 rats per treatment, 2 chip for each animal	3927^c	[15]

^a the authors reported 145 genes but only 106 accessions could be retrieved from the paper.
^b represents the number of the Affymetrix probe sets.
^c the probe sets were significant with false discovery rate < 0.05 by either one – day or five – week estrogen treatment of ovariectomized rats.
