Genes Involved in the Seminoma Testicular Cancer: A Bioinformatic Study

Abstract: This study aims to identify genes differentially expressed between: (1) normal tissue samples and tissue samples with testicular cancer, and (2) progress stages of testicular seminoma (cancer). In this context, data for the experiments were obtained from the Repository of the Nat...

Universidad de Santiago de ChileAbstract: This study aims to identify genes differentially expressed between: (1) normal tissue samples and tissue samples with testicular cancer, and (2) progress stages of testicular seminoma (cancer). In this context, data for the experiments were obtained from the Repository of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). On them a cleaning process and pre-processing was performed through the elimination of null or missing values, then, and in order to perform dimensionality reduction of data on them, statistical test t-student was applied to establish genes with capacity to discriminate between the different conditions. Next, Significance Analysis of Microarrays (SAM) was carried out to identify genes that were differentially expressed. Thereby a set of 40 differentially expressed genes in normal samples and cancer samples; and 11 genes in the case of the stages of the disease were identified, all of them were subjected to a functional biological analysis. Finally, it was evidenced that genes HSPA2, SPINK2 and POU5F1P3 were coincident with previous studies in terms of being labeled as genes responsible for seminoma testicular cancer.   Resumen: Este estudio tuvo como objetivo identificar genes diferencialmente expresados entre: (1) muestras de tejido normal y muestras de tejido con cáncer testicular, y (2) etapas de progresión del seminoma testicular (cáncer).
