Differential expression of GATM in cancer of the vulva.

Abstract

In these brief notes we document work using published microarray data (1, 2) to pioneer integrative transcriptome analysis comparing vulvar carcinoma to its tissue of origin, the vulva. We report the differential expression of glycine amidinotransferase, encoded by GATM, in cancer of the vulva. GATM may be of pertinence to understanding transformation and disease progression in vulvar cancer (3).
