Differential expression of NRN1 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 neuritin 1, encoded by NRN1, in cancer of the vulva. NRN1 may be of pertinence to understanding transformation and disease progression in vulvar cancer (3).
