The Cancer Genome Atlas dataset-based analysis of aberrantly expressed genes by GeneAnalytics in thymoma associated myasthenia gravis: focusing on T cells

摘要

BackgroundMyasthenia gravis (MG) is a group of autoimmune disease which could be accompanied by thymoma. Many differences have been observed between thymoma-associated MG (TAMG) and non-MG thymoma (NMG). However, the molecular difference between them remained unknown. This study aimed to explore the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the two categories and to elucidate the possible pathogenesis of TAMG further.
