Figure 4. Relative gene expression levels of CLL subtype distinction genes
A. Hierarchical clustering of gene expression data for 205 array elements representing approximately 175 genes that were differentially expressed between mutated and unmutated CLL samples (p<0.001).
B.Hierarchical clustering of genes that most strongly discriminated between the CLL subtypes. Also shown for each gene is the ratio of mean expression of the gene in Ig-unmutated CLL samples (excluding CLL-60) versus mean expression in Ig-mutated (high) CLL samples, together with the p values (Student's t-test) that quantitate the significance of the difference in mean expression between the two CLL subtypes.
