Differential expression of THSD7A 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 thrombospondin type 1 domain-containing 7A, encoded by THSD7A, in cancer of the vulva. THSD7A may be of pertinence to understanding transformation and disease progression in vulvar cancer (3).
